Steakhouse Creamed Spinach

This recipe serves 6 people and requires 10 minutes of preparation time followed by 15 minutes of cooking time. Please note that it contains milk and gluten, and it’s suitable for a vegetarian diet.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• 2 lbs fresh baby spinach
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 small white onion, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 cups half and half
• 4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature and chopped
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Here’s how to prepare it:

1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until it just wilts, about 1 minute. Drain the spinach and rinse it with cold water. Once cooled, squeeze handfuls of spinach to remove any excess water, then chop them into 1-inch-wide strips. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and onions, and cook them until the onions become soft and translucent, which takes approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Gradually add the half and half, stirring continuously, until bubbles start to appear and the mixture thickens. Then, stir in the mozzarella and cream cheese until they melt. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5. Finally, add the chopped spinach and Parmesan cheese, and serve. Enjoy your delicious spinach dish!
