Spinach-And-Cheese Puff
Allie, from the Everyday Food Channel, shares a delicious Thanksgiving side dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a shallow 1-quart baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, half-and-half, eggs, 1 cup Gruyere, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Spread evenly in prepared baking dish, and top with remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere. Bake until set and top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
everyone loved it but i would definitely add more cheese...like a lot more cheese! cream was fine but it was in need of some cheesy goodness.
This recipe was not a big hit with my family, but I entrusted someone else to prepare it while I did other things, so I'm not sure it was made correctly.
I made this recipe for thanksgiving and again for christmas and everyone enjoyed it! It is a super easy dish to prepare and make! It's a great dish that is easy and fast to prep and make especially for holiday potlucks! I agree with the previous comments! The second time I made it, I put a lot less salt! Just a pinch or 1/2 teaspoon of salt would do just fine and make this recipe come out a lot better! :) happy cooking!
Served for 2008 Thanksgiving and everyone enjoyed it. Definitely, 2T of salt is way too much. I even think 1T is too much as the cheese has a saltiness to it too. I was surprised to hear my brother, who is a wonderful chef, asked for this again and each Thanksgiving forward. Looks like I'll be making this again.
We found this dish disappointing. I usually make my spinach casserole with a highly seasoned creamy mornay sauce, and this was flavorless in comparison. It bakes up "hard" and eggy like an Italian torta, not soft and creamy. I guess we were expecting it to be like creamed spinach, so we were disappointed.
After researching recipes and comments, I thought I found a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving. Boy was I wrong. This dish would have been fantastic without the 2 TSP! of salt. I went back to this website hoping that i copied the recipe wrong(which I didn't)and found that the written recipe is the same as the video but when you remove the video there are directions that say to cover and cook 20 and uncover and cook 20, plus it was pictured with a deeper dish to prevent drying out to be an issue.
Making it one day ahead and then cooking it again for 40 minutes seems like it might dry out. Is it possible to prepare it one day ahead and then bake it the next day with the the Gruyere topping?

We enjoyed this as a main dish seved with good salad leaf mix.
Absolutely fabulous served warm, just as delicious at room temperature. Great for entertaining! Very easy.

Can the gruyere cheese be substituted with another type of cheese? If yes, what do you recommend?
Thanks
can this be done with fresh baby spinach , steamed? if so how much? have a great thansgiving.
This is a question to anyone. How do I get a photo or even Marta's icons on my page?? Thanks!!!!!
Really, really good. Anything with Gruyere cheese is wonderful.
Candace,
I'm thinking of making this recipe for Thanksgiving... did you ever try it with just two packages of spinach and if so, how did it turn out? I was already thinking of that when I read the recipe.
Thanks!
Delicious and Easy. Think I'll try it with only 2 boxes of chopped spinach next time.
