Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 c diced yellow onion
4 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 c whole milk
1 c heavy cream
2 pkg boursin cheese (5.2 oz. each)
3 pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess moisture
4 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
2 tsp lemon zest
salt, pepper, cayenne, nutmeg to taste
1 1/3 c panko bread crumbs
2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Saute onions in 2 T butter until soft--about 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the onions. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer for one minute.
2. Stir in Boursin cheese a little at a time until melted and smooth. Remove saucepan from heat and add spinach, parmesan, lemon zest, and seasonings. I use salt, pepper, a pinch of fresh grated nutmeg and about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.
3. Transfer spinach mixture to a prepared baking dish (I sprayed baking dish with Pam).
4. Combine crumbs, 2T. melted butter, oil, salt and pepper. Top spinach with crumbs, packing down to adhere.
5. Bake 20-25 minutes until crumbs are golden and sauce is bubbly.
