Boursin Cheese Creamed Spinach Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 ounces boursin cheese
10 ounces baby spinach leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely minced
salt
white pepper
cayenne
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Topping
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Butter a shallow baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the sauce first by sauteing the onion in butter over medium heat. Cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
Add flour and stir well to coat. Cook about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk and whipping cream, stirring the mixture constantly to break up any lumps. Simmer sauce for 1 minute. DO NOT burn.
Next stir in the boursin cheese a little bit at a time, until melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
Now add the spinach, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and seasonings. Transfer the spinach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Toss together the topping ingredients. Add the topping to the spinach mixture and pat down with your hands.
Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake until crumbs are golden and saucy bubbly; approximately 20-25 minutes.
NOTE: Casserole can be prepared up through Step #8, covered with foil and chilled for baking at a later time.
