Creamed Spinach
This restaurant style ultra creamy creamed spinach is made with three cheeses and heavy whipping cream. Don't be fooled by the spinach, this is as decadent as it gets and comforting like mac and cheese.
Ingredients
Here are the measurements:
- 32 oz frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 TB kerrygold salted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 C heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 C mozzarella
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 C grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze all the water out. Set aside.
- Melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream and allow to thicken for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper. Let fully incorporate for 5 minutes.
- Add parmesan cheese and that spinach. Stir well. Cook 2 minutes then add red pepper flakes. Stir once more and serve.
Notes
Make sure you fully thaw the frozen spinach. If I'm in a rush I will put the frozen spinach in a colander and rinse with cool water. This will melt the ice. Then I'll press the water out with a wooden spoon then get even more water out by squeezing handfuls of the spinach in paper towels. You'll lose some spinach along the way with this method but it's not enough to impact the dish.
