Ingredients

• 1 tbsp salted butter
• 200 g spinach
• 200 g spinach
• 2 tbsp salted butter
• 0.5 small white onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 180 ml double cream

Instructions

1. In a frying pan on medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp butter followed by your spinach.
2. Add about 200g of spinach at a time and then once its wilted, add more until everything is wilted.
3. Remove from the pan and add to a colander. Use your hands/ cheese cloth to squeeze the water out.
4. In the frying pan on medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp butter followed by the diced white onion.
5. Fry (and stir) for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent and softened.
6. Then add your garlic and fry for another minute or two, stirring continuously.
7. Turn your heat down to medium-low and add cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and parmesan.
8. Mix for approx 2 minutes, until the cream has slightly thickened.
9. Add your spinach and mix.
10. Either enjoy like this or add to a small baking tray and top with cheese (I used mozzarella, cheddar and a final grating of parmesan).
11. Pop into the grill for a few minutes, until the cheese is all melted, bubbling and golden.
