The Best Easy Steak House Creamed Spinach Recipe
This easy steak house creamed spinach recipe is rich, creamy, and loaded with parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and melty gruyere—basically the leafy green version of a hug. It’s the perfect side dish for juicy steak, roast chicken, or even spooned straight outta the skillet.
Ingredients
- 3 10 oz bags Chopped Frozen Spinach thawed and strained
- 2 tablespoon Salted Butter
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion diced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 4 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
- ½ cup Gruyere Cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, divided
- Kosher Salt and Fresh Cracked Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and strain excess water from chopped spinach.
- In a large skillet or cast iron pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onion with a pinch of salt until caramelized, about 7 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in heavy cream, add cream cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened.
- Stir in ¾ cup parmigiano, little by little, until smooth.
- Add gruyere and stir until melted.
- Fold in strained spinach and stir to combine. Taste and season if needed.
- Top with remaining parmesan cheese and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
Be sure to strain the thawed out spinach! If you don't it will be watery and lose.
If you don't have gruyere, you could use gouda, white cheddar, or something similar! I'd recommend mozzarella as a last resort as it doesn't have much flavor!
