Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach. Just thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Use a good quality rice. A long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, will work best.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a flavorful ham. A smoked ham or a honey-baked ham will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what helps to bind the ingredients together and makes the dish creamy and delicious.
  • Serve the spinach rice ham bake immediately. It is best when it is hot and fresh out of the oven.
