Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 2 (9 oz) packages frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅔ cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
Stir in the nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the thawed spinach, salt, pepper, ⅓ cup of the parmesan, and the cream cheese. Stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and the remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15-17 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
