Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh spinach washed and stems removed
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the fresh spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
  • Transfer the spinach mixture to a baking dish. Top with grated Parmesan and Gruyère cheese.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can prepare the spinach mixture ahead of time and bake it just before serving.
