Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Spinach and Sauce

    Add the chopped spinach to the cream sauce. Mix in nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the creamed spinach mixture to a baking dish.

  5. 5

    Top with Breadcrumbs

    In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the creamed spinach.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamed spinach gratin!
