Creamed Spinach

By

Serves 4 to 6
When Peter Luger opened a steak house in New York City in 1887, creamed spinach was on the menu. The success of the restaurant resulted in many copycat menus. It is hard to even imagine a steak house today without creamed spinach on the menu.

Tip: If you would like to make this ahead, transfer the creamed spinach to a lightly buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with buttered bread crumbs. Refrigerate until 40 minutes before serving. Bake at 350° F for about 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Preparation

Step 1



1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the spinach, cover, and steam until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain into a colander, rinse with cold water, and press out as much water as possible. Transfer to a cutting board and chop. If the spinach seems watery, gather in handfuls and squeeze to remove excess water.
2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour to make a paste. Cook for 1 minute.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until hot and thickened. Stir in the cheese.
4. Stir in the spinach and cook until the spinach is hot, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
