Instructions
- If you use fresh spinach: Prep your fresh spinach. Rinse and pick out withered leaves. Keep a small pot with water to boil and place spinach leaves in to blanch (aka cook briefly) for 3 minutes. Take out from the water and place into a prepared bowl with ice water to halt the cooking process instantly.
- If you use frozen spinach, just thaw it and remove excess water.
- Chop spinach and keep it aside.
- Chop onion and garlic.
- Heat up a skillet with oil and saute onion and garlic.
- Stir in spinach and saute.
- Season with dried herbs of your choice (see notes), black pepper, and salt. Mix up and sautee over a medium heat setting.
- Stir in cream cheese, milk and grated cheese. Combine while cooking it still over a slow to medium heat setting.
- When it's all well mixed and hot, it's ready to be served up.

Notes
- Use fresh or frozen spinach. I prefer fresh baby spinach or regular spinach leaves if possible vs frozen spinach. If I’m in a hurry, I will use frozen thawed spinach too.
- Use thyme or oregano or Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence seasoning blend.
- For the cheese choose grated parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey, gruyere, or Emmental cheese.
