Creamed Spinach with Mushrooms and Bacon image

Spinach is a wonderful veggie. Whether creamed, in a frittata, a quiche, salad, or sandwich--it's a winner. This is my favorite creamed spinach and mushrooms recipe I created myself.

Ingredients

1 slice bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
5 large mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup minced sweet onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach, roughly chopped
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Add mushrooms to the bacon grease in the skillet and saute until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and wipe out any remaining bacon fat.
Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Mix in onion and garlic; cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add spinach; press it down to mix with onion and garlic. Add mushrooms, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; cook gently until liquid reduces by about half, 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle bacon over top and serve.
