Steps:
- Thaw spinach in the microwave, covered. (I do a couple batches at 3 minutes on high power.) Place spinach in a colander to drain in the sink. Drain the artichoke hearts (or thaw frozen ones in the microwave). Chop the artichokes and pat them dry.
- While the vegetables are in the microwave, chop the onions and garlic. Grease a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Crack eggs, separating the whites into a medium bowl and the yolks into a small bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites, starting at low speed and increasing to high, until stiff peaks form. (It will look fluffy, like meringue.) You can chill the egg whites until they are needed.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, and after a couple minutes, add the garlic. Cook until the onions are soft, at least five minutes total. While they are cooking, whisk the evaporated and 2% milk together. Leaving the egg yolks in a separate bowl, beat the yolks with a fork. Place your milk mixture and egg yolks near the stove.
- In the saucepan, stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in the milk mixture, and continue stirring until the sauce boils and thickens slightly. Spoon a small amount of the sauce into the egg yolks and stir them together to temper the eggs. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the sauce in the pan, stirring quickly to prevent lumps. Stirring constantly, cook until the sauce thickens, but do not let it boil.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Squeeze the spinach dry (I use a clean dish towel that doesn't shed fibers; paper towels also would work.) Add the spinach and artichokes to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine. Using a wire whisk, gently fold in the beaten egg whites until they are incorporated into the mixture.
- Transfer the vegetable mixture to the 9x13 pan and smooth the top evenly. Sprinkle on 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of kosher salt and cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the flour to evenly distribute. Add 1 cup milk, stirring continuously until thickened; repeat with the remaining 1 cup. Stir in the chicken soup bouillon, then add the chicken, thyme and a few turns of black pepper and simmer, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the artichokes, spinach, cream cheese, parsley, a pinch of crushed red pepper and a few turns of black pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is melted. Taste and adjust as desired.
- Divide the spinach, artichoke and chicken mixture into eight 5-inch aluminum pans or a 9-by-13-inch casserole pan. Separate the biscuits, then top the casseroles with them. Brush them with the egg wash and sprinkle with the flaky salt and some black pepper.
- If baking immediately, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- If freezing, allow the casseroles to cool to room temperature, then cover tightly with foil and freeze. To reheat, bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.
THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

AMAZING SPINACH ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE
This is a family favorite...spinach, fresh mushrooms, artichokes and cheeses make up a mouth-watering side dish that is creamy and delicious. This recipe has a lot of steps, but it is relatively easy and is well worth it. If you are a garlic lover, add an additional clove or two of pressed garlic to the mixture without roasting it first. This is my most requested vegetable casserole recipe, and it is a Thanksgiving favorite.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables to your casserole, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or red peppers.
- Make sure the casserole is hot and bubbly before serving. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the casserole is cooked through.
