Line a small baking tray with foil. Place squash on the baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the squash is tender and softened. Using a fork, lightly mash the squash.

While the squash is roasting, prepare your spinach. Heat spinach in a pan over medium heat until wilted and cooked down (2-3 minutes). Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Feta, garlic and cayenne, and mix together until smooth. Fold in spinach, squash, maple bacon and Monterey Jack. Pour the mixture into an oven-safe serving dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top begins to brown. Serve warm with crackers or sliced bread.
