1 Lay out the ingredients. If using frozen spinach, thaw it. Cream cheese also needs to be softened slightly.

2 Cook the spinach in a medium saucepan or skillet according to package directions. If not, then simply cook the spinach with 3 tablespoons (45 g) of butter.

3 Add cream cheese one pack at a time. Stir well and add the next portion of cheese only when the previous one has completely melted. Turn on low heat and stir constantly to combine the ingredients.

4 Remove from heat, stir and serve. You can use spinach as it is, with hot buns, or as a side dish with other dishes.

Method 2 of 2: The traditional way

1. 1 Prepare your ingredients. Grab a chopping board, knife, and vegetables.
   • Cut the onion in half. Make vertical cuts very close to each other. Then turn and cut on the other side to cut the onion into cubes.
   • Chop the garlic. If it seems to you that it is already small enough, grind it a little more.
2. 2 Take a saucepan for making a creamy sauce. Add butter and heat over medium-low to medium heat.
   • Once the butter has melted, add 8 tablespoons (90 g) flour.
   • Begin whisking immediately and cook for 5 minutes. The mixture should turn golden brown.
   • Add garlic and onion to the mixture. Stir and cook for another minute.
   • Add 2 cups (475 ml) milk slowly. Beat all the time. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should begin to thicken.
3. 3 Fry the spinach. If you have another pair of hands at your disposal, let her whip the creamy sauce while frying the spinach yourself.
   • Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and let it melt.
   • Add as much spinach as possible. It will decrease as it warms up, so you can add more. You may need to add spinach several times.Stir well and turn to cook the leaves evenly.
   • Cook the spinach until the consistency is wilted, but not soft or overcooked. Taste the leaf. It should still be slightly crispy.
4. 4 Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to the creamy sauce. By now, the mixture should have thickened to the consistency of a sauce.
   • Place the spinach in the creamy sauce. Stir gently to combine the ingredients. Taste to make sure there is not too much spinach or butter sauce in the dish. Alternatively, add cayenne pepper if you want to spice it up. Then serve.
5. 5 Ready.

Tips

• You can complete this dish by adding a little savory sauce.
• If you like spicy food, add a few slices of jalapeno peppers.
• Creamy spinach goes well with stuffed mushrooms.

Warnings

• Remove excess moisture from the spinach before mixing with the creamy sauce. If moisture remains, the sauce will be too runny.
