How to Make Boursin Cheese Creamed Spinach Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Butter a shallow 8x8 inch baking dish and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of low-fat milk and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Do not burn.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 4 ounces of Boursin cheese, a little at a time, until melted and smooth.
  8. Remove from heat. Stir in 5 ounces fresh baby spinach, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the spinach mixture and pat down gently.
  12. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (to catch spills). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.
