Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp whipped butter (I used Land O Lakes)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour (or gluten-free flour mix)
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
  • 3 cups 2% milk
  • 3 lbs frozen chopped spinach (defrosted, I used 3 16-oz packages )

  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground )
  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese (shredded or Swiss cheese)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 10 - 12 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and nutmeg; cook 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the milk and cook until thickened, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  5. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste, with salt and pepper.
  7. Transfer the spinach to a large baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the Swiss cheese on top.  Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
