Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.

Notes

Bake less for a softer texture or longer for a firmer, slightly golden top. Drain spinach well to avoid excess moisture. Freeze portions before baking for convenience. Add herbs or spices for variation. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and reheat gently.
