Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
• 225 grams cream cheese, softened
• 200 grams sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Gradually add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet, stirring until wilted. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Once wilted, remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold the spinach mixture from the skillet into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving about 50 grams of cheese for topping the casserole.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until combined.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the spinach mixture in the casserole dish, followed by the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
