Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Butter unsalted
  • ¼ cup Shallot thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Half & Half
  • 6 oz Fresh Baby Spinach
  • 2 tbsp Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 4 tbsp Grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • Tear any thick stems off of the spinach leaves and discard. Roughly chop the spinach leaves and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large oven-safe saute pan over medium heat.
  • Stir in shallots and a pinch of salt, and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic and nutmeg, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in half and half and cook for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Stir frequently to ensure the half and half doesn't begin to separate.
  • Add the chopped fresh spinach a heaping handful at a time. Stir it into the half and half mixture after each addition, until it has all been mixed in.
  • Stir in the whipped cream cheese, followed by the grated parmesan cheese. Add in more Parmesan if desired. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Season with a pinch of healthy pinch of salt and fresh black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Top with shaved Parmesan and sprinkle nutmeg.
  • Set oven to broil high and broil creamed spinach for 2-4 minutes to allow the cheese to brown.
  • Enjoy!
