Sauté Aromatics:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté the onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. -
Cook Spinach:
Stir in the well-drained spinach, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 3-4 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate. -
Add Creamy Goodness:
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese and Boursin until melted and smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. -
Season & Finish:
Add Parmesan, if using, along with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and bubbly. -
Serve:
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm. It’s divine alongside roasted meats or as part of a holiday spread.
💡 Pro Tip: For extra flair, top with breadcrumbs and broil until golden and crispy!
