  • 3 tablespoons milk any kind
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  • Add milk, mozzarella cheese and feta cheese. Stir to combine. Add more milk, if needed, for a creamier texture.
  • Add baby spinach, salt and pepper, and stir.
  • Serve immediately.
