Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 300 grams Cremini or button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 grams Gruyère cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized gratin or baking dish with a little butter or olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach in batches (if necessary) and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove any excess liquid by gently pressing the spinach with a spatula or placing it in a colander.

Step 6

Combine the sautéed mushrooms and wilted spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the nutmeg and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low heat. Stir in half of the Gruyère cheese and mix until the cheese has melted and the cream is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly into the prepared gratin dish. Pour the cream and cheese mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese and Parmesan cheese over the spinach and mushrooms to create a cheesy topping.

Step 10

Place the gratin dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it as a luxurious side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
