BUTTER:

GARLIC:

HEAVY CREAM:

  • Heavy cream creates the creamy sauce’s foundation. We can also use the half milk and half cream for a lighter version of this spinach gratin but it won’t be as rich.

FRESH SPINACH:

  • We can wash and trim the stems of the spinach. We can properly squeeze out the spinach If you’re using iced up spinach to avoid any extra water content.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese adds a little zest and creaminess. We can soften in advance to make combining simpler.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • Grated Parmesan cheese adds umami and saltiness. For optimal flavor, use freshly grated; pre-shredded may be drier and less delicious.

SALT & PEPPER

  • We can adjust the salt & pepper bestowing to your preference. Because the Parmesan and cream cheese both add saltiness, use salt sparingly until after they are added.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • Mozzarella cheese adds stretchiness and melts wonderfully and also serves as an excellent thing to garnish when baking this meal.

NUTMEG:

  • Nutmeg softly improves the taste and it is a classic in creamy spinach recipes. A small amount of nutmeg has a big impact.
