This is so easy and delicious it's pitiful. And yes, I pretty much do put lemon pepper in everything but dessert! Ingredients:
2 (7 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach or 2 (7 ounce) boxes broccoli or 2 (7 ounce) boxes one bunch chard leaves, stems chopped and cooked with the leaves |
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (more or less, depending on how creamy you like your vegetables) |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 onion |
2 garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon lemon pepper |
salt |
3 dashes fresh nutmeg (3 gratings) |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Microwave spinach addording to package directions and drain the spinach well.
2. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and saute them in the oil.
3. Lower the heat, add the spinach, the cream cheese and the seasonings and stir until the cream cheese melts.
4. Turn the mixture into a microwaveable- or oven-proof dish and top with the parmesan cheese.
5. Heat until cheese melts and serve.
6. If any is left over- stir in a beaten egg and top with cheese - microwave until just firm.
