# Expert Tips:

01 -

It comes together in under 35 minutes with almost no fuss, leaving you free to set the table or greet guests.
The creamy, tangy richness pairs with everything from chips to bread, so you can serve it however feels right.
It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but honestly, it's just a bowl and an oven doing the work.

02 -

Drain your spinach aggressively—wet spinach will release moisture as it bakes and make your dip soupy, a lesson I learned by arriving at a party with a pool of water on top.
Softening the cream cheese first prevents grainy, lumpy texture in the final dip, so take it out of the fridge while you prep the other ingredients.
