Spinach Gratin Recipe
Forget about the spinach gratins you have eaten so far, I will introduce you to a brand new taste today. But beware, it is not as light as light it feels while you are eating:)
Spinach gratin is usually made with roasted spinach and topped with bechamel sauce. In this method, especially if the spinach is not well roasted, it releases water, it cannot be a whole with bechamel sauce, it doesn't seem very appetizing even if it satisfies with the taste. I aimed to eliminate this visual problem with this recipe and I think I have succeeded it.
I will give a humble advice about the taste of the recipe. Make sure that the cheeses you use have a special fragrant and taste. Because the flavor and smell of cheese can not be obtained with any other material and spice. I used a mix of old amsterdam and provelone. Old cheddar, edam, gouda, parmesan, etc would be all ok. But unless you have to, don't use the cheeses that are sold as pizza cheese mixtures or any cheese sold grated actually:) They generally don't have a special taste and they just make you take unnecessary calories.
A final note on the recipe. You can serve it as a main course or you can use it as a dipping sauce without baking. It would be a great snack with chips or toasted bread slices.
