Steakhouse Creamed Spinach
This creamy, garlicky steakhouse creamed spinach is the perfect side dish.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large shallot sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper chili flakes
- 2 lbs fresh baby spinach two 16oz packages
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 c heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temp!
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Melt the butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and skillet is hot, reduce heat to medium low, sauté the garlic & shallots for 30 seconds, constantly stirring.
- Add in the red pepper flakes and sauté for a few more seconds.
- Return the heat to medium and add as much spinach to the skillet as possible, then cover with a lid, let cook down for a few minutes. Remove the lid, toss the spinach around. Add the rest of the spinach, close the lid and let cook down for a few minutes too.
- Add in the salt, pepper, heavy cream and creamed cheese. I like to break up the cream cheese into smaller chunks. Keep stirring until all the cream cheese has melted and theres a thick creamy liquid.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve with your fave protein, eat and enjoy!

Notes
If the spinach has a lot of green liquid when cooking after the third step, drain some or soak it up with a paper towel.
