BOURSIN CHEESE CREAMED SPINACH BAKE



Boursin Cheese Creamed Spinach Bake image

From Cuisine at Home. I can't abide frozen spinach, so baby spinach leaves fit the role nicely. Cut down on the fat content by using lower fat milk instead of cream. A brief history of boursin, compliments of www.cheese.com: "Boursin is a modern, creamy, fresh cheese of cylindrical shape without rind. It is made with garlic and herbs or even black pepper. It is a soft industrial cheese with no affinage (maturity/aging process). The cheese was founded by Monsier Boursin in 1957. It has a rich, sweet flavor with a hint of acidity." Update: I discovered recently that there is a posted boursin cheese recipe on this site. I have not tried it.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 ounces boursin cheese
10 ounces baby spinach leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely minced

1 tablespoon olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  • Prepare the sauce first by sauteing the onion in butter over medium heat. Cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add flour and stir well to coat. Cook about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and whipping cream, stirring the mixture constantly to break up any lumps. Simmer sauce for 1 minute. DO NOT burn.
  • Next stir in the boursin cheese a little bit at a time, until melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Now add the spinach, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and seasonings. Transfer the spinach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Toss together the topping ingredients. Add the topping to the spinach mixture and pat down with your hands.
  • Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake until crumbs are golden and saucy bubbly; approximately 20-25 minutes.
  • NOTE: Casserole can be prepared up through Step #8, covered with foil and chilled for baking at a later time.
