Baked Spinach with Cheese

Uberbackener spinat Mit Kase

• 1 LB fresh spinach, rinsed clean

• 1/4 LB butter

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1/2 LB Emmenthaler Cheese, grated

• 1 tsp. paprika

• 1/8 tsp. nutmeg

• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Cut the spinach into strips. In a large Dutch oven, heat butter until bubbly. Add onion and garlic, sauté for two or three minutes. Add spinach; sprinkle with salt. Cover and steam for five minutes; remove from heat. Grease an ovenproof casserole dish, and sprinkle half of the cheese on the bottom. Add spinach; sprinkle with paprika, nutmeg and pepper. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350-degrees F for about twenty minutes, or until cheese bubbles. Serve.

 

Note: Emmentaler Cheese cheese comes in wheels or blocks with large holes that form during the maturing process (similar to Swiss cheese). Emmentaler has a nutty flavor with a yellow to dark brown rind; delicious on sandwiches and salads. It can also be used in sauces, hot dishes and cheese fondues.
