  6. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden at the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–7 minutes before serving.

Notes

Parmesan is optional, technically making this a five-cheese dip.
Use gloves when handling bird pepper or substitute with a pinch of chili flakes if needed.
Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to prevent a watery dip.
Let the dip rest for 5–7 minutes after baking before serving to allow it to firm up.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or toasted bread slices.
