Zubereitung von The Ultimate Creamed Spinach
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook, covered, until wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the spinach to a colander under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- Squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the spinach using your hands or a large spoon.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the warmed milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Gruyère cheese, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and hot pepper sauce until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Gently stir in the chopped spinach.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Butter a shallow, 4-cup baking dish. Transfer the spinach mixture to the prepared dish.
- In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the spinach mixture.
- Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 14 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the spinach is bubbly.
