Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 large white onion, chopped
2 poblano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup sour cream
6 ounces gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 ounces muenster cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Toasted sourdough bread, for serving
1 1/2 pounds baby spinach
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Put the spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times to vent. Microwave until it starts wilting, about 4 minutes. Uncover and stir, then microwave until completely wilted, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water; squeeze dry and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, poblanos and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; add the garlic and flour and stir until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the sour cream and cook, stirring, until the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in all but a few tablespoons of the gruyere, then stir in the muenster and cilantro. Transfer to a food processor and add the spinach; pulse until finely chopped.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the dip in a 1-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved gruyere. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 6 minutes. Serve with bread.
