This was pretty good. I thought the spinach layer could have used some seasoning as it was very bland. I also would add more seasoning to the cream cheese layer if I were to make this again.

This recipe was DELISH! I was out of milk, so I used Half and Half instead. Also, instead of the parmesan cheese, I crumbled 1/3 c. gorgonzola into the cream cheese-butter mixture. What a great flavor. Finally, I used only 2 packages of chopped spinach.
