Ingredients
- 900 grams Fresh spinach
- 60 grams Butter
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and roughly chop any large leaves. Place the spinach in a large pot over medium heat with a splash of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain the spinach in a colander, pressing out excess liquid, and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it has melted and combined with the butter. Slowly stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Stir the wilted spinach into the cream cheese mixture. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Transfer the spinach mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the spinach.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy gratin as a delicious side dish!
