Ingredients
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
3 tablespoons flour
-
1 cup milk or 1 cup half-and-half
-
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules or 1 teaspoon bouillon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
-
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the onion; cook over medium heat until tender, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk. Cook, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Stir in the chicken base, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Set aside.
- Squeeze the thawed spinach to remove as much water as possible. Add the spinach to the cream sauce; mix well. Cook until spinach absorbs some of the sauce, about 5 minutes.
