A must Try! This spinach dish is SO good! Got it out of the Houston Chronicle food section, tried it, and my family fell in love with it. My 3 yr. old grandson ate 3 helpings. Best of all it's really easy to make. Ingredients:
3 lbs fresh spinach (i use the frozen) or 2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach (i use the frozen) |
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
6 tablespoons minced onions (heaping) |
6 tablespoons light cream or 6 tablespoons half-and-half |
6 tablespoons butter, melted, divided (can use low fat or fat free substitute) |
salt & fresh ground pepper |
1/2 cup cracker crumb |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. If using fresh spinach, wash spinach and drain. Cook damp spinach in a hot skillet until wilted; chop coarsely.
3. Combine spinach with cheese, onion, cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Place mixture in a shallow, buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
5. Mix cracker crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle over spinach mixture.
6. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden and lightly crusted.
7. ENJOY!
