Berghoff Restaurant Creamed Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Place half-and-half, milk, chicken base, Tabasco sauce, nutmeg, garlic, and celery salt in a medium saucepan and heat just until simmering.
• Remove from heat, but keep warm.
• In a separate medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat.
• Whisk in flour.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
• Slowly whisk warm milk mixture into butter mixture a little at a time, whisking constantly.
• Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until very thick.
• Stir in spinach and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Season with salt and ground white pepper if desired.
• Garnish with bacon and additional nutmeg, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the onion; cook over medium heat until tender, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk. Cook, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Stir in the chicken base, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Set aside.
• Squeeze the thawed spinach to remove as much water as possible. Add the spinach to the cream sauce; mix well. Cook until spinach absorbs some of the sauce, about 5 minutes.
