Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Wash and trim the spinach. Steam or blanch the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and squeeze out any excess water. Chop the spinach finely and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and creamy.
Add the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir well to combine.
Fold the chopped spinach into the cheese mixture, making sure it is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
