Ingredients

Amounts
  • 1 garlic clove (optional)
  • 3½ to 4½ tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 pounds (1.3 kg) fresh spinach or 3 10-ounce (283-gram) packages frozen spinach, defrosted
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup (85 grams) grated swiss, gruyère, or comté cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fine, dry breadcrumbs (I use panko)
Shopping list

“What I'm missing” leaves off staples you almost certainly have — salt, pepper, oil, water — and anything already in your pantry.
