FRESH SPINACH GRATIN
Fresh spinach and Swiss cheese combine in this gratin that is perfect for the holidays. No more hand cramping from squeezing frozen spinach. With the exception of the breadcrumb topping, this can be done a day ahead to save time on the big day. You will just need to allow an additional 30 minutes of cook time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle flour over onion mixture and cook until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute.
- Place spinach in a large soup pot and cover. Heat on low until spinach begins to wilt, about 4 minutes. Turn heat off and add half-and-half, 1 cup Swiss cheese, and the onion mixture. Stir to combine and transfer to a 9-inch gratin dish.
- Combine breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup cheese in a bowl. Pour melted butter over the top and stir to combine. Evenly spread breadcrumb mixture over the spinach.
- Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

[email protected]This was a waste of time and ingredients. The gratin was watery and tasteless. Do not recommend.
Samiullah Mehar
[email protected]This was not what I expected. The spinach was mushy and the cheese sauce was bland. I will not be making this again.
Dani Khan
[email protected]The cheese sauce was a little too thick for my liking, but the spinach was cooked perfectly. I would probably thin the sauce out next time.

[email protected]This was a bit bland for my taste, but I think I just needed to add more salt and pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.

[email protected]This is a great basic recipe that can be easily customized to your liking. I added some chopped bacon and mushrooms to the spinach mixture, and used a sharp cheddar cheese instead of the Gruyère. It was delicious!
Dana Roberts
[email protected]I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I usually add a little bit of garlic to the cheese sauce, and sometimes I top it with bread crumbs before baking.
