I’ve tried lots of creamed spinach, and this is my favorite.

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 12 ounces baby spinach stems removed
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Romano cheese grated
  • In deep pan over medium-high heat, melt butter and then add the olive oil.
  • Add the shallot and garlic, cook for 2 minutes until soft.
  • Add the spinach and saute until wilted.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, Romano cheese and the heavy cream. Mix well.
  • Cook until liquid reduces by half and sauce thickens.  About 5-6 minutes.
