How to Make Serrano Cheese Spinach

  1. Thaw 10 oz of frozen spinach, rinse thoroughly, and squeeze out as much excess water as possible using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Finely chop 2-3 serrano peppers (adjust to your spice preference). Remove seeds and membranes for less heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 8 oz cream cheese (softened), the chopped serrano peppers, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the squeezed spinach.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the top is lightly browned.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot!
