Spinach Gratin

From McGough's Recipes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp whipped butter, I used Land O Lakes
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup flour, use Gluten free AP flour for GF
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
  • 3 cups 2% milk
  • 3 lbs frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, I used 3 16-oz packages
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F°.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saute pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 10 - 12 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and nutmeg; cook 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the milk and cook until thickened, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  5. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste, with salt and pepper.
  7. Transfer the spinach to a large baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the Swiss cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
