    List of Ingredients


    • 1 T unsalted butter
    • 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
    • 2 T all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup whole or 2% milk
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1 pkg (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese
    • 1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry of excess moisture
    • 2 T Parmesan cheese, grated
    • 1 tsp lemon zest, minced
    • salt, white pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg to taste
    • 2/3 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs (made from two slices firm white bread)
    • 1 T unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 T olive oil
    • salt and black pepper to taste


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 425; coat a shallow 2-cup baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
    2. Saute onion in butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until onion is soft, 5 minutes.
    3. Add flour and stir to coat onion. Cook about 1 minute.
    4. Gradually whisk milk and cream into onion mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer sauce for 1 minute.
    5. Stir in Boursin a little at a time until melted and smooth. Remove saucepan from heat.
    6. Add spinach, Parmesan, lemon zest, and seasonings. Transfer spinach mixture to prepared baking dish.
    7. Combine crumbs, butter, oil, and seasonings. Top spinach with crumbs, packing them to adhere. (Dish may be covered and chilled at this point to be baked later.) Place dish on a baking sheet and bake until crumbs are golden and sauce is bubbly, 20-25 minutes.
