Steakhouse Style Creamed Spinach

Steakhouse Style Creamed Spinach

For the past two date nights, we’ve dined in two different steakhouses. I’ve had the creamed spinach on both occasions and I’m pretty sure I could eat this stuff every single day! It’s so yummy! Spinach, cream cheese…you know what? I don’t even need to go any further. Let’s just hop in. Here’s the tutorial.

I used frozen spinach. Just thaw it and squeeze as much water from it as possible. Use good quality paper towels. We’re making creamed spinach. Not watery spinach. Squeeeeeeeeeze!

This recipe can also be made keto and low carb friendly. Just simply use heavy cream instead of the flour and half and half. The cream will thicken the sauce without the need for a roux. But, you could also use almond flour if you’d like to have a roux.

This is really the perfect side dish for any grilled meat or fish. If you like a little spice, add in some red pepper flakes. And don’t skip that nutmeg!

Happy Cooking,
