ho to cook Creamed Spinach w/ Garlic + Goat Cheese
Serves: 4
Time:
Creamed spinach is a classic side dish and usually present on
steakhouse menus. To make yours unique, we’re adding goat cheese in addition to
mozzarella. Both are really great at melting, and the tang of the goat cheese
goes perfectly with garlic. Butter and half-and-half provide
the creamy base of the sauce. Total cook time is about 10-15 minutes,
so when you’re in a hurry, break out your spinach skillet.

2 pounds fresh spinach
4 minced garlic cloves
3 tablespoons butter
