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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 6

Add the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Fold the chopped spinach into the cheese mixture, making sure it is evenly coated.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
