"Creamy spinach casserole has always been a favorite in my family, so it's a sure-fire hit for any gathering. The pimiento cheese flavors give it a uniquely Southern twist." --Perre Coleman Magness, author of Pimento Cheese: The Cookbook

Ingredients

3 (10-oz.) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 medium-size yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces and softened
1 cup milk
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained and rinsed
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
