How to Make Spinach Madelaine
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking ahead.
- Cook 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach according to package directions. Drain thoroughly, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and blended (about 1 minute).
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved 1/2 cup spinach liquid and 1 cup milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth.
- Gently fold in the cooked spinach.
- For immediate serving: Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve warm as a side dish or dip.
- For baking: Transfer the spinach mixture to a greased casserole dish. Top with 1/2 cup buttered bread crumbs. Refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Serving suggestion: Serve 20 as a hot dip in a chafing dish.
- Freezing instructions: Allow to cool completely before freezing in airtight containers.
