SPINACH GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and the Gruyere on top. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

FRESH SPINACH GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle flour over onion mixture and cook until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute.
• Place spinach in a large soup pot and cover. Heat on low until spinach begins to wilt, about 4 minutes. Turn heat off and add half-and-half, 1 cup Swiss cheese, and the onion mixture. Stir to combine and transfer to a 9-inch gratin dish.
• Combine breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup cheese in a bowl. Pour melted butter over the top and stir to combine. Evenly spread breadcrumb mixture over the spinach.
• Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Halve or quarter the mushrooms, depending on their size. Warm the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan and add the mushrooms, letting them color nicely here and there (expect to add more oil if they drink it all). Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for a couple of minutes.
• Pour the cream into the pan and let it come back to a boil, then simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat. Wash the spinach and put it, still wet from rinsing, into a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Let the spinach cook for a minute or two in its own steam, then drain it and squeeze to remove excess water.
• Reserve several tablespoons of the Parmesan. Fold together the mushrooms, drained spinach, salt and black pepper, and the rest of the grated Parmesan. Put into a shallow baking dish. Scatter the reserved cheese on top and bake for thirty-five minutes, until the top is crisp and golden.
