How to Soften Your Cream Cheese
Leave the cream cheese out of the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before using to soften for this recipe. It’s easy to work with softened cream cheese.
How to Buy Fresh Spinach
When buying fresh spinach, try to purchase organic if possible. Buy a little more than you need because fresh spinach needs trimmed of the stalks or stems before cooking. This will decrease the weight by a few ounces. Make sure the spinach is bright green and not wilted. Wash spinach thoroughly and let dry. You can also put freshly washed spinach through a salad spinner to dry.
Can You Use Frozen Spinach for This Recipe
You can always substitute frozen spinach. Make sure the spinach has been thawed and as much of the water pressed out as possible. One (10 oz) package of frozen spinach is the equivalent to 1 lb. of fresh spinach.
