Description

IMPROV: For a milder, creamier version, use a blend of Parmesan and Fontina instead of all Parm. (Semolina flour is sold at some supermarkets, Italian markets, and specialty foods stores.)

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
2 cups water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup semolina flour (pasta flour)
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 large eggs (whisk in 1 at a time)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Butter 11x7x2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
  3. In large saucepan, bring to a boil milk, water, butter, and salt. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually whisk in semolina flour, then whisk until mixture is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Whisk in spinach, Parmesan cheese, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish; smooth top and sprinkle with 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake gratin until puffed and golden, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
