The Keto Lady Creamed Spinach
The Keto Lady Creamed Spinach
**Ingredients:**
- 2 tablespoons Kerrygold butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavored)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clamshell baby spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. **Melt Butter & Add Garlic:** In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the Kerrygold butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
2. **Create Sauce:** Reduce the heat to low. Add the Boursin cheese to the skillet, stirring until it starts to melt. Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and uniform.
3. **Season Sauce:** Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the heat low, ensuring the sauce doesn't come to a boil but is hot enough to melt the cheeses.
4. **Add Spinach:** Once the sauce is smooth, add the baby spinach to the skillet. Gently fold the spinach into the sauce, allowing it to wilt and cook in the creamy mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The spinach will reduce in volume as it wilts.
5. **Cook to Desired Consistency:** Continue to cook the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is fully wilted and incorporated into the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more cream to reach your desired consistency.
6. **Serve:** Once the spinach is tender and the creamed spinach has reached your preferred consistency, remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately as a decadent side dish.
