# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the cheese stretches when you scoop it up is pure joy
  • Its one of those rare appetizers that disappears before the main course even arrives
02 -
  • Squeezing every last drop of water from the thawed spinach is what separates restaurant quality from soggy disappointment
  • Let the cream cheese soften properly at room temperature, or you will end up with lumps that refuse to disappear
03 -
  • Grate your own Parmesan from a wedge instead of using pre-grated for vastly superior melting
  • Let the dip rest for 5 minutes after baking so it sets slightly and scoops more cleanly
