1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions

2. Thaw and squeeze all moisture out of the spinach using a towel.
3. In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.
4. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5. Add spinach and cooked onion into the creamy base, then fold in mozzarella and half the Parmesan.
6. Transfer the mixture into the baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Combine breadcrumbs, melted butter, and remaining Parmesan; sprinkle over the casserole.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

Notes
Always squeeze out the spinach thoroughly to prevent a watery texture.
Mix the topping right before baking to keep it crisp.
Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing to hold its shape better.
