Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach in the microwave or at room temperature. Squeeze out all excess water using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Fold in the thawed and drained spinach until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining Monterey Jack cheese (1 cup).
