Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
3 pounds frozen chopped spinach, defrosted (5 (10-ounce) packages)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and the Gruyere on top. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

This was the BEST creamed spinach I've ever had!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a major hit with my family. Even my father, who does not like spinach loved this dish!! I will definately be... making it again and I love the fact that I was able to go right to Whole Foods to find the Gruyere cheese. This introduced me to cheese I had never tried before and although I would never eat it alone, it was a great cheese for the dish!! I altered the dish in two (2) ways...I added fresh chopped garlic and I used more parmesan and gruyere cheese than the recipe called for!! Wonderful additions to an already fabulous recipe!!Read more

I just watched the video again as I am serving this delish dish tonight. Ina makes it seem so easy (and it is) but I see all... the little details that enhance the recipe. I treasure my Reggiano, but for this, sacrifice is a given!Read more
