Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream (can use 2% milk for a lighter option)
- ⅓ lb blue cheese (I prefer aged, but swap gorgonzola for a milder, sweeter option)
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed
Instructions
- Add cream to a small saucepan, and heat over medium low until bubbles begin to form
- Crumble ⅔ of the blue cheese (if in block form) and add to the cream. Using the flat of a spoon or spatula, stir the mixture, smashing the blue cheese crumbles into the mixture.
- Once cheese has completely melted, turn off the heat. Add the 1 tsp worcestershire sauce and ½ tsp pepper and stir to mix evenly.
- Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat. Add in the spinach, breaking it apart as needed. Sautee until warm and heated through, making sure no ice remains, and most of the water has boiled off.
- Turn off the heat on the skillet, and pour over the blue cheese sauce, stirring until evenly incorporated. (Optional) Reserve some sauce in a small bowl to pour over top when ready to serve.
- Transfer to serving dish. Pour over reserved sauce, if using. Crumble the remaining blue cheese on top. Gently stir the mixture to allow for chunks of blue cheese to remain as desired.
