FAQs

Can I use regular spinach instead of fresh?

Fresh spinach works best in this recipe for texture and flavor. If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain it thoroughly before adding to prevent excess moisture.

Can I prepare this recipe vegan?

This dish relies on eggs and spinach artichoke dip, which often contains dairy. To make it vegan, substitute eggs with a tofu scramble and use a dairy-free spinach dip alternative.
