This classic recipe is a play of the famous Morton’s Steakhouse recipe! If you are looking for that perfect and tasty side dish, look no further!
Here is how to get this delicious dish going:
Boil the spinach in salted water, just until it wilts. Then squeeze out all of the water you can and chop the spinach into one inch pieces. This is the only cooking you will do with the spinach – easy enough right?
One the stove, heat up chopped onions, butter and garlic, adding flour to thicken up the mixture.
Half and half, cream cheese and mozzarella cheese will be added to make this spinach dip incredibly rich and creamy!

- 2 lbs fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 cup cup unsalted butter

Chop handfuls into strips about 1-inch in width. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Stir in flour. Cook 2 minutes, stirring often.

Stir in half and half and cook until bubbles appear and mixture thickens. Stir in mozzarella and cream cheese until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
