Yield: 13 servings

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

3 tbsp whipped butter (I used Land O Lakes)
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup all purpose flour (or gluten-free flour mix)
1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
3 cups 2% milk
3 lbs frozen chopped spinach (defrosted, I used 3 16-oz packages )
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated )
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground )
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded or Swiss cheese)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F.
In a heavy-bottomed pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 10 - 12 minutes.
Add the flour and nutmeg; cook 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the milk and cook until thickened, about 5 - 7 minutes.
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce.
Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste, with salt and pepper.
Transfer the spinach to a large baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the Swiss cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
