Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen spinach thawed*
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 3/4 cup yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature and cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Squeeze out thawed spinach to get as much water out as you can. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg and sauté an additional minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Heat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Stir in the spinach and heat until the sauce is to your desired thickness, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, a small handful at a time until fully melted.
- Taste and add additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*If you want to use fresh spinach you will need 2 pounds. Add the spinach to a boiling pot of water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and squeeze out the spinach well.
Storage Instructions:
Store leftover creamed spinach in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring often. Freezing is not recommended, since the sauce can separate and turn runny.Nutrition
