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.

    Wow! Here's a veggie dish even the kids will love! This is by far one of the most requested dishes for get-togethers that I... get. It's a must try and it's easy (though a little messy with the draining of the spinach) to make, too.Read more

    AMAZING!!!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I love spinach, any way I can get it and this was definitely the BEST spinach gratin I have ever had!!! Use the good cheese,... like Ina says, the flavors are worth it! The recipe does make a large quantity so I will reserve this recipe for parties, plus it isn't exactly health food, so we shouldn't eat it too often anyway. I will pull it out for special occasions though!! MMMMMMM! Thanks, Ina!! Read more

    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
