Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more for the dish)
1 garlic clove, halved
5 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
5 (10 ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup grated gruyere or 1 cup grated swiss cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Rub the sides and bottom of a buttered 8-inch baking dish with the garlic; discard garlic.
  • In a skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Squeeze the spinach to remove any excess liquid. In a large bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, Gruyere or Swiss cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and shallots. Transfer to dish.
  • Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and lightly golden, about 25 minutes.
