Equipment
- Large skillet
- Whisk
- Chef's knife
- Measuring Cups
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- Frozen Chopped Spinach 12 Oz
- Strips Bacon 2
- Yellow Onion 1/4 Cup
- Butter 2 Tbsp
- All-purpose Flour 2 Tbsp
- Whole Milk 1/2 Cup
- Heavy Cream 1/4 Cup
- Nutmeg 1/4 Tsp
- Salt 1/2 Tsp
- Black Pepper 1/4 Tsp
Instructions
- Squeeze all the water out of the spinach. Use a clean kitchen towel for this task. The spinach must be very dry before cooking.
- Fry the bacon pieces in your large skillet. Cook them until they are very crispy and brown. Remove the bacon but keep the rendered fat.
- Add the minced onions to the hot bacon fat. Sauté them until they are soft and clear. This should take about five minutes on medium.
- Stir the butter into the skillet with the onions. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture very slowly. Whisk constantly for two minutes to cook the flour.
- Pour in the milk and the heavy cream slowly. Keep whisking so the sauce stays very smooth. Let it simmer until it starts to thicken up.
- Fold the dried spinach into the creamy white sauce. Add the crispy bacon bits back into the pan. Stir well to coat every bit of spinach.
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let it cook for five more minutes on low. Serve it hot while it is still very creamy.
Notes
- Always squeeze the spinach until no more liquid comes out.
- Chop the spinach even finer after thawing for better texture.
- Use high-quality butter to get that authentic steakhouse flavor.
- Do not let the sauce boil too hard or burn.
- Add the nutmeg slowly because a little goes a long way.
- Serve the dish immediately to keep the creaminess perfect.
- Taste the sauce before adding salt since bacon is salty.
