Creamed Spinach To Die For

Print Recipe

A rich and creamy creamed spinach recipe featuring a buttery roux, sautéed onions and garlic, and tender baby spinach, seasoned with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cups milk
  • 24 ounces baby spinach
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a pot, melt 1/2 cup butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk together. Cook over medium heat until light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic to the pot and stir together, cooking for another minute.
  3. Pour in the milk, whisking constantly, and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter.
  5. Add the spinach in increments until all is incorporated, and cook until wilted but not soggy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  6. Season the cream sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  7. Add the cooked spinach to the cream sauce, stirring gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use baby spinach from bags for convenience as it is pre-washed and ready to use. Finely chopping the onion and garlic ensures they blend smoothly into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
