Preparing the Spinach Artichoke Dip

• Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your dip bakes evenly from the moment it hits the oven.

  Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder first, whisking them together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.Pour in the milk and melted butter, followed by the lightly beaten eggs.Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, mixing well until it begins to come together.Finally, fold in the cooked and well-drained spinach. Make sure the spinach is fully incorporated for a consistent texture in every bite.
• Once everything is mixed, grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Transfer the spinach mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

  Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are slightly crisp and pulling away from the sides of the dish.

  As soon as the dish comes out of the oven, run a knife gently around the edges to loosen it from the pan—this helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to slice once it cools.

  Let the dip cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm and melty, or let it cool completely to portion and store for later.
