INGREDIENTS:

• 1 medium Spanish onion

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 stick unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 1 1/4cups shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese (Swiss cheese is a bit saltier)

• 1 bag triple washed baby spinach

• salt & pepper to taste

• ground nutmeg to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large sauté pan, heat vegetable oil and melt butter. Add onions and cook until translucent - about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Reduce heat to low and add flour to the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon until it forms a roux.

3. Slowly start adding the heavy cream, constantly stirring to prevent lumps from forming.

4. Add the cheese, stirring to mix. Then add the nutmeg, remaining salt and pepper.

5. Turn off the heat and fold in the spinach.

6. Once the spinach is fully coated in the mixture, it's ready to serve!
