2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and ground white pepper

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your appetizer the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally sourced produce for the best results.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become limp and lose its vibrant green color.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the appetizer as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if needed.
  • Serve Hot or Cold: This appetizer can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. If you like it hot, reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving. If you prefer it cold, let it cool completely before serving.
