Ingredients
- 18 oz (510 grams) fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Rinse the spinach and remove the stems. Bring water to a boil in a pot and cook the spinach for less than 1 minute. Drain the spinach using a colander, then transfer it to a bowl of cold water to cool for 2 minutes. Drain again and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Chop the spinach into small pieces and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet (or non-stick frying pan) over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until golden brown and aromatic. Stir in the all-purpose flour, then pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens.
- Lower the heat and add the spinach, half of the shredded cheese, and salt. Stir continuously until the cheese melts, then turn off the heat immediately.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Set the oven to broil and bake the creamed spinach for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the dish from the oven and serve immediately.
