Ingredients
- 24 ounces baby spinach washed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup minced shallots about 2 large shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3 large cloves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup milk
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water and bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat.
- Add 24 ounces baby spinach to the boiling water and stir for about 1 minute until it has wilted. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the spinach into the ice water.
- Once the spinach has cooled off, use both hands to squeeze as much water from the spinach as you can. Set aside the drained leaves in a medium bowl.
- Add 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ cup minced shallots, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic to a large skillet and cook over medium heat for a couple minutes, until the shallots lose some of their color and the mixture becomes fragrant.
- Whisk in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbling. Slowly whisk in ⅔ cup milk.
- Add ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese and 2 ounces cream cheese and stir until they are fully melted. Remove from the heat and stir in ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
- Add the drained spinach to the cheese mixture and stir until the spinach is heated through. If necessary, heat over low to warm everything evenly while stirring continuously.
- Serve immediately, topping with a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg.
