Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a baking dish, combine feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped pepperoncini, and spinach.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Crumble feta and stir everything to combine.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
- Check after 15 minutes for a golden top and bubbling edges. If browning too fast, tent with foil.

Serving
