Broiled Spinach With Four Cheeses

Mercy's Note:

Quick, easy and versatile! You can change the flavor of this dish by changing the types of cheese (i.e. pepper jack for a spicier flavor). This works out well for low carbers too!

I made this recipe as directed however; I reduced the amount of dill and used dried dill instead of fresh. I think next time around I am going to omit the dill or increase the garlic. This recipe has some good bones I just think modifying it to suit own personal tastes will make it even better. Thank you for the low carb tasty side dish. They are hard to come by. :)

This is a delicious way to enjoy spinach. I made this exactly as written (the ingredients don't say how much garlic; I used 3 minced cloves). I thought the cheese combination was perfect. My toddler even enjoyed this! Thanx for this recipe; I'll make it again.
