Creamed Spinach
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1-Tbsp pieces
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 lbs baby spinach
- 2 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 pinches nutmeg (preferably freshly grated) optional
- Salt and black pepper
- 4 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes and softened
- 3/4 cup (1.5 oz) finely shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add shallot and saute until softened and lightly deepening in color, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
- Add spinach in four batches, tossing between each until spinach is nearly wilted each time.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook and toss for 1 minute.
- While stirring pour in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and nutmeg. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low then add cream cheese and parmesan cheese and stir until cheeses are melted. Transfer to a serving dish so spinach doesn’t continue to cook and serve warm.
