This hearty side dish pairs perfectly with a light main, such as a soup or slice of quiche. Go fancier by baking the gratin in individual dishes. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 cup chopped onion |
8 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped |
6 ounces pork sausage |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
12 ounces fresh spinach, trimmed |
cooking spray |
2 ounces french bread baguette, torn into 1-inch pieces |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil; swirl. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add sausage, salt, and pepper; sauté 5 minutes, stirring to crumble. Remove mixture from pan; drain. Wipe pan.
3. Return sausage mixture to pan. Stir in flour; sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Combine milk and eggs, stirring well. Reduce heat to medium. Stir milk mixture into sausage mixture; bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Spoon spinach mixture into an 11 x 7-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray.
4. Place bread in a food processor, and pulse until 1 cup coarse crumbs form. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Stir in crumbs, and sauté for 3 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently. Sprinkle crumbs over spinach mixture, and top with cheese. Bake at 450° for 12 minutes or until bubbly.
