The Best Creamed Spinach Recipe And More
We like it when spinach finds its way into anything we’re planning to eat. Like when two of our favorite ingredients come together in one place in this Spinach Feta Wrap. This Spinach Mushroom Strata is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (just add Simple Green Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette!). Perhaps the way we will always love spinach is in Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip, the only sad part is that it never lasts long at our houses. Make these Feta-Spinach Breakfast Egg Muffins with Sun-Dried Tomatoes for a great on-the-go breakfast.
How To Make Creamed Spinach
To start making frozen creamed spinach you’ll need to thaw, drain, and squeeze all of the liquid out of 20 ounces of frozen leaf spinach (most of the frozen spinach sold at the grocery store comes in 10 ounce blocks–grab two of these to make this recipe!).
Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the shallot and garlic to cook until tender.
Add the heavy cream, mustard, and spices and stir to combine and bring to a simmer. You’ll reduce the heat and simmer until the cream has thickened.
Add a half cup of grated parmesan and spinach, and cook until thick and creamy–about five minutes more.
Serve warm, with some Herby Rhodes Rolls and perhaps our Salisbury Steak alongside!
