Steps:
- Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Add spinach and cook down for about 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted but not soggy.
- Drain spinach well and then wring out using cheesecloth (preferred) or a kitchen towel. You can also press spinach in a fine-mesh strainer to try and remove excess water. Note: the spinach may be VERY hot, handle with care and allow to cool if needed.
- Note: you may be surprised to find that you only have 1-2 cups of spinach. This is totally normal.Set spinach aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions become soft and transparent.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir until flour is cooked (about 3 minutes).
- Pour in half and half a little at a time, whisking constantly making a beschamel sauce. You want it to be the consistency of a thin gravy. Add more half and half or milk if needed.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add spinach and stir until spinach is well mixed in.
- Add Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and creamy Swiss cheese (or cream cheese). Stir until all cheeses are melted and completely mixed in.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine milk, spinach liquid and garlic in a 1-quart microwave-safe measuring cup or small bowl covered with a saucer, and microwave (or heat slowly in a medium saucepan) until very hot and steamy. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to soften garlic.
- Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour. Add hot milk mixture all at once, then whisk until smooth. Stir in spinach; cook until sauce is thick and bubbly and spinach is tender but still green, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese, nutmeg, and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Serve hot.

FAST AND EASY CREAMED SPINACH
This is a little easier, a little quicker, a little more contemporary, and believe it or not, a little lighter than traditional creamed spinach. Have all your ingredients ready to go ahead of time. It's a classic steak side dish.

Steps:
- Pour olive oil into a large soup pot, place over high heat, add spinach, and cover. Cook for 1 minute, uncover, and lightly stir until most of the leaves are bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes. Quickly drain spinach in a strainer and transfer to a plate lined with 4 or 5 paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Transfer spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
- Mix salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter in skillet, and stir shallot in the hot butter until just barely golden and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir seasoning mixture into shallot mixture and pour in cream. Raise heat to medium-high and reduce cream sauce to about half, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon zest.
- Reduce heat to low and toss spinach with cream sauce in skillet. Cook and stir until spinach is heated through and coated, about 2 minutes. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into spinach until thoroughly combined; serve immediately.

MY FAVORITE CREAMED SPINACH
I love this creamed spinach even though I don't care for most cooked spinach dishes. I worked on this until it tasted like the one in a favorite restaurant of ours.

CREAMED FRESH SPINACH
There are lots of creamed spinach recipes on Zaar, but this one is different in that it uses not only fresh spinach and real cream, but also chicken broth. If you don't care for sweet onions, use regular white onion. Recipe adapted from a version found in the Steak Lover's Coobook.

Steps:
- Rinse off spinach well and shake to dry, but there should be some water still on the leaves (this residual water will help steam the spinach).
- Remove any tough stems from the spinach, then place spinach leaves into a large saucepan, cover, and cook over medium heat just until wilted- approximately 4 minutes, checking once halfway through to flip the leaves over to ensure even cooking.
- Have ready a mesh strainer, so that as soon as the spinach leaves have wilted, you can strain them over the sink, while running cold water over them to prevent overcooking.
- Make sure the spinach is cooled down very well from the water, then set aside to drain.
- Mix together onion, spices,salt,chicken broth,and cream in a small pan.
- Bring to a boil (uncovered) over medium heat and let reduce to about 3/4 cup, this will take some time- approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as needed to keep from burning.
- Meanwhile, squeeze the spinach dry using your hands- get out all the excess liquid you can.
- Chop spinach coarsely and then add to the reduced cream mixture.
- Taste and season to taste.
- If making this in advance, cover and chill then reheat in a saucepan until bubbling, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until warmed through.

FAVORITE CREAMED SPINACH
This recipe is made with a white sauce, and has lots of garlic in it. I came up with this recipe after making several other creamed spinach recipes that were overcooked, flavorless, and dull. I wanted something bright green, garlicky, and creamy. This is the only creamed spinach dish that my husband will eat now. Feel free to use all butter or all olive oil or substituting cream for the milk depending on your taste. I think this combination is big on flavor and cuts a lot of fat. I have even had success serving this dish to people who claim they do not like spinach. Enjoy!
