Gruyere Spinach Casserole image

This delicious combination of fresh spinach and Gruyere cheese especially compliments beef entrees. It's easy to prepare. I've not yet made this without everyone loving it! I don't add the salt as I find the cheese makes it salty enough.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (16 ounce) bags fresh spinach, rinsed and stemmed
¼ cup butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups hot milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
paprika to taste

Steps:

  • Place the spinach over boiling water in a pot fitted with a steamer basket, and steam 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted. Remove spinach to a colander and cool with cold water. Once cool to the touch, squeeze as much moisture from the spinach as possible.
  • In a saucepan, begin making a white sauce by heating 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for one minute. Then add half of the milk and whisk. Once incorporated, add the rest of the milk, the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to low and allow to simmer for eight to ten minutes, stirring frequently until sauce has thickened.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Chop the cooled spinach and spread evenly into a lightly buttered, shallow baking dish. Place small dabs of the remaining butter on top of the spinach. Season lightly with salt, pepper and paprika. Pour white sauce over spinach. Sprinkle Gruyere cheese evenly over the top.
  • Place in oven under broiler for ten minutes, or until top is browned.

I love this casserole! It's so creamy and cheesy. I always add a little bit of chopped bacon to it for extra flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but this casserole was surprisingly good! The Gruyère cheese and bread crumbs really made it.

This recipe was a disaster! The casserole was burnt and the spinach was mushy.

I was disappointed with this casserole. It was too watery and the spinach was not cooked through.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and onion next time.
