Method
Preparation
Clean and Prepare Spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove any tough stems and set the spinach aside.
Chop Aromatics
Finely chop the garlic and shallot. Set aside for later use.
Cooking
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Cream and Cheese
Once the spinach is wilted, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
Season the Mixture
Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the spinach mixture, stirring well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add Parmesan
Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Serving
Serve Hot
Transfer the creamed spinach to a serving dish and serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
