Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach and remove any tough stems. Pat dry and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic, heavy cream, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with the butter to prevent sticking.
Layer the fresh spinach in the crock pot, pressing it down slightly to fit.
Pour the cheese mixture over the spinach, spreading it evenly to cover all the leaves.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 2 hours, stirring gently halfway through to ensure the spinach and cheese mixture combine well.
Once the cooking time is complete, stir the spinach dish again to create a creamy consistency.
Serve hot as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
