Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and remove any tough stems. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes or until soft. Let it cool, then mash it into a paste.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the washed spinach and cook until wilted, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 4

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, roasted garlic paste, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sautéed spinach and shredded Fontina cheese to the cream mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.

  2. 7

    Pour the spinach and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  3. 8

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the spinach mixture.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
