- 1 cup cooked spinach (squeezed dry and chopped)
- 1/2 small onion (finely chopped)

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- Sauté the onion: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until softened, then set aside.

- Rest and serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen spinach—just thaw, drain, and squeeze it dry.
- Feel free to swap in other cheeses like mozzarella or goat cheese.
- Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage for a heartier version.
