Spinach Gratin
Fresh spinach cooks quickly, with a bit of stock to keep it moist. It’s topped with a seasoned mix of bread crumbs and shredded cheese for a quick, healthy side dish.

Ingredients
Scale
- 12oz (350gr) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 (4oz, 120ml) cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 dry bread crumbs
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Put spinach in oiled baking dish just large enough to hold it. I used 8 X 11 inch (20 X 27.5cm) oval ceramic dish.
- Heat broth and pour over spinach.
- Mix bread crumbs, thyme, cheese and sprinkle over spinach.
- Cover with foil and bake at 375F (190C) for 25 minutes.
- Uncover and bake 5 minutes longer.
- Serve from baking dish.
Notes
To roughly chop spinach: remove any thick stems, pile the leaves up and cut through 2 or 3 times.
I could barely get all the spinach in my dish; I had to press it down. Heating the stock helped it to wilt.
As it bakes, it collapses, and the gratin topping comes together.
