Creamed Spinach

creamed spinach in a serving bowl made with butter, shallot, garlic, cream, dijon, spices and parmesan cheese
  • Serves: 8
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 20 ounces frozen spinach, thawed, drained, liquid squeezed out

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, but not browned, 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

  2. Stir in the heavy cream, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, nutmeg, and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the cream has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the Parmesan and spinach and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes longer. Serve warm.
