Makeover spinach gratin

I bring this dish to my mom's home for Thanksgiving every year because everyone loves it! Much lighter than a conventional gratin and so easy to prepare! This is a must have for the holidays, but if you want to cook this up for a smaller gathering, you can easily cook half the recipe. More gratin recipes I love Brussels sprouts gratin, spiralized beet and potato gratin with turkey or the classic gratinated potato gratin.

Spinach with cream sauce and cheese

If you don't know what a gratin is, it's basically cheese-coated creamed spinach and baked in the oven.

Variations

I used Gruyere here, but Swiss or Mozzarella would work.
You can also leave out the melted cheese and serve it as plain creamed spinach instead.
Make this gluten-free by using an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix like Cup4cup.

Creamy spinach with a hint of nutmeg is baked in the oven, topped with melted cheese for a decadent Christmas side dish.

3 tablespoon Whipped butter, I used Land O Lakes
1 Cup finely chopped onion
1/4 Cup flour, Use gluten-free AP flour for GF
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
3 cups 2% milk
3 lbs frozen minced spinach, thawed, I used 3 16 ounce packages

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 Cup grated Swiss or Gruyère cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 ° C.
In a heavy-bottomed frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them until they are translucent, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the flour and nutmeg; Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the milk and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as possible and add the spinach to the sauce.
