Creamed Spinach


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds (32 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
  • a hefty pinch of ground nutmeg
  • salt and fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, cut into six pieces
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they’re translucent, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
  3. Add one package of frozen spinach at a time to the skillet and cook until the spinach is completely thawed, about 15 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  4. Drop the pieces of cream cheese into the spinach mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes, until it has softened. Then stir the cream cheese into the spinach until well-incorporated. Stir in 3/4 cup of the parmesan cheese.
  5. Transfer the creamed spinach to a 7-x-11-inch baking dish and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until mixture is bubbling and the edges are golden. Serve warm.
