KETO CREAMED SPINACH WITH BOURSIN CHEESE

Steps:

• Begin by cooking down your spinach and kale in a large skillet over medium heat. Cover it with a lid for a minute or two, then gently fold it over in the pan until it cooks down.
• Remove from the heat and use a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth to remove the excess moisture. I use a wooden spoon or spatula and push down on the mixture in a strainer to squeeze as much out as I can. This is a key part to the recipe, don't skip this step!
• Set the spinach and kale aside and use the same skillet to melt the butter over medium heat.
• To the pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds.
• Add the boursin cheese and break it down into the pan with a whisk.
• Slowly add the heavy cream into the pan and whisk the boursin cheese into it. Let the mixture heat through and allow the cheese to fully dissolve into the liquid.
• Slowly whisk in the parmesan cheese to the sauce and whisk continuously until smooth. Turn of the heat.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then fold the spinach and kale into the cream sauce.
• Bake in the current skillet if oven safe or transfer to another pan or baking dish. I used a 9 inch lodge cast iron pan.
• Preheat your oven to 350 F. Add the pork rind crumbs over the top and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
• Let rest 5 minutes or so before serving and enjoy!

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Cook spinach in 2 batches in 1 inch of boiling salted water in an 8-quart pot, stirring constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool. Squeeze small handfuls of spinach to remove as much moisture as possible, then coarsely chop.
• Heat milk and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until warm. Meanwhile, cook onion in butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Add warm milk mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, and simmer, whisking, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until heated through.

• Meanwhile, heat the broiler to medium. Place the boursin and cream cheese in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook, mixing well, until the cheese melt and form a sauce (or microwave in a bowl, 1 1/2 minutes). Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 c pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot, fold in the melted cheese mixture, pasta water and the mozzarella until well combined. Stir in the spinach just until incorporated.
• Pour mixture into a buttered baking dish, 8 to 9 inches and 3 inches deep. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan; broil until golden brown, about 3 minutes.

CHICKEN STUFFED WITH BOURSIN CHEESE AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a baking dish that will hold all four breasts, such as a 13 x 9 pan.
• Make stuffing: Wash and dry spinach. Roughly chop the spinach and place into a medium size bowl. Using a fork or your hands, mash the spinach and cheese together until the spinach is coated with the cheese and most of the lumps are gone.
• Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Slide your fingers under the chicken skin to loosen it, leaving some of the membrane intact so it will better hold the stuffing.
• Lightly drizzle olive oil on the bottom of the pan, and lay the chicken breasts skin-side up on top of the oil.
• Dividing the stuffing evenly between them, stuff the breasts. Using the opening you made with your fingers, gently push the spinach/cheese mixture under the skin, working it around so it looks attractive.
• Drizzle the skin lightly with olive oil.
• Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• If you have extra stuffing, bake it in a small greased dish for about 25 minutes.
• Check the chicken after 30 minutes and lay a piece of foil over the pan if it is getting too brown.
