Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Gratin

Experience the rich, savory goodness of this Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Gratin. This luxurious side dish, with its golden, bubbly top and a delectable mix of earthy mushrooms and fresh spinach coated in a creamy, cheesy sauce, will elevate any meal. Originating from the French cuisine, 'Gratin' is a widespread culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, grated cheese, or butter. Our version gives a nod to this tradition, adding a creamy twist to the classic.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Salt and pepper
to taste
Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup
Parmesan cheese
1 cup, grated
Milk
1 cup
All-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Butter
2 tablespoons
Spinach
2 cups, fresh
Mushrooms
2 cups, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms turn tender and have a golden color, which should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and continue to cook until the spinach has wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom and spinach mixture, stirring it in to coat the vegetables.
  6. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring the mixture continuously, until it becomes thick and creamy.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  8. Transfer the creamy mixture into a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs over the top.
  9. Bake the gratin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until you see that the top has turned golden and is bubbling. The gratin is now ready to serve.
  10. Serve this Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Gratin hot, as a perfect side dish to complement any meal. Enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra cheesy gratin, feel free to use a blend of different cheeses like Gruyère or Mozzarella along with Parmesan.
  • 💡 You can add a touch of nutmeg for extra depth of flavor.
  • 💡 You can substitute half of the milk with cream for a richer gratin.
