A delightful baked spinach dish with a creamy base and a crispy onion topping, perfect as a side dish or a light meal.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, softened cream cheese, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid a watery bake.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling.
Check the bake halfway through to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the fried onions evenly on top.
Add the onions just before serving to keep them crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy spinach bake.
Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
