INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs (optional topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (or similar) baking dish.
- Sauté aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft (about 3–4 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion mixture with spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese until well mixed.
- Assemble: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle crushed crackers or breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
- Serve warm as a comforting side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
