# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, even when you're rushing or improvising.
  • The creamy, garlicky layers taste like something you'd order at a restaurant, but it's shockingly simple.
  • Everyone always asks for the recipe, and you get to smile knowing how easy it really is.
02 -
  • If you skip squeezing the spinach dry, the dip will be soupy and won't hold its shape.
  • Let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing, or you'll end up with stubborn lumps no amount of stirring can fix.
03 -
  • A pinch of lemon juice stirred in at the end brightens the whole dish and cuts through the richness.
  • For a restaurant-style finish, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top before baking so it caramelizes into a crispy crust.
