Steakhouse Creamed Spinach

Every great steakhouse has one, and it is almost naturally keto. A shallot, a little garlic, cream cheese and parmesan turn a mountain of spinach into the richest side on the table. Finish it under the broiler for a bubbling, browned top.

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallot 2 minutes, add the garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Add the spinach in handfuls, stirring until it wilts. If using frozen, add it all at once after squeezing out every drop of water.
  3. Stir in the cream cheese and cream until melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Add half the parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  4. For a bubbly top, transfer to a small oven-safe dish, sprinkle with the remaining parmesan, and broil 2 to 3 minutes until golden.

Chef’s notes

  • Squeeze frozen spinach in a clean kitchen towel; watery spinach makes a loose sauce.
  • Fold in a little crisp bacon or artichoke hearts for variety.

Storage: Refrigerate 4 days; reheat gently with a splash of cream.
