Ingredients
  

Base
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Boosts nutrition and texture; fresh is best to avoid excess shrinkage.
  • 12 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets This provides the essential veggie foundation; fresh broccoli works too.
  • Garlic Adds aromatic flavor; garlic powder can be a quick substitute.
Creaminess
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise Acts as a binder and adds creaminess; consider Greek yogurt for a lower-calorie swap.
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese Creates a luscious, creamy texture; low-fat cream cheese is a lighter option.
  • ½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Gives a potent cheese flavor; feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese.
  • ¾ cup Mozzarella Cheese Offers delightful melting quality and a golden crust; other meltable cheeses can work here.
Flavor
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder Enhances the overall taste; fresh shallots can be a lovely alternative.
