STEAKHOUSE CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan or large skillet set over medium-high heat.
• Add spinach to the heated oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted, stirring frequently.I suggest cooking the spinach in 3 batches so it fits comfortably in the skillet, and cooks evenly. Use about a teaspoon of oil with each batch.
• Remove from heat and transfer spinach to a cutting board; once it is cool enough to handle, chop up the spinach. Set aside.
• Wipe down the saucepan.
• Set saucepan over medium heat.
• Add butter to the pan and melt it. Swirl around from time to time to melt nicely and prevent from browning.
• To the melted butter add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until just softened.
• Sprinkle flour over the onions; cook and whisk for 2 more minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Add the milk in a slow stream while whisking; whisk until completely combined and the mixture begins to boil and slightly thicken.
• Whisk in salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
• Add the chopped spinach; stir to combine and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, folding in the spinach as you stir. You want to mix and stir to completely combine the spinach with the sauce.
• Remove from heat.
• Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with enough salted water to cover the spinach and bring it to a boil. Add the spinach to your boiling water and cook until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Drain immediately into a colander and rinse with cold water until the spinach is cool to the touch. Set aside.
• Bring a large skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium-low heat with the butter. Once the butter melts, add the onion and garlic and saute until softened and the onion is translucent and fragrant or about 8-10 minutes.
• Add the seasoning (salt, ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg) and stir into the sauteed onion and garlic, then add the all-purpose flour and stir it in as well. Cook the flour paste for 2-3 minutes to cook off the flour taste, then slowly whisk in the half & half and bring it to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Stir until all of the cheese is melted, smooth, and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Squeeze handfuls of the drained and rinsed spinach until you've squeezed as much excess liquid out as possible. Transfer to a cutting board then roughly chop all the spinach to strips that are roughly 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in width.
