Mushroom and Spinach Gratin
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp of black pepper
- 4 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the chopped spinach and cooked mushrooms to the sauce, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Transfer the mushroom and spinach mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
