1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

- Mix in the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.

Notes
Make sure the spinach is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to prevent a watery dip.
You can substitute part of the mozzarella with white cheddar for a sharper flavor.
Add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños for a little heat.
Cooked chopped smoked turkey can be added for a smoky variation.
The dip can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and baked when ready to serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
