Spinach and Swiss cheese come together in a make-ahead gratin, ideal for holiday feasting.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1.5 pounds baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup half-and-half
1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
0.75 cup dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in oil until soft and translucent for about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle flour over the onion and cook until a thick paste forms, approximately 1 minute.
In a large soup pot, gently wilt the spinach by covering and heating on low for about 4 minutes. Once wilted, turn off the heat and mix in the half-and-half, 1 cup Swiss cheese, and the onion mixture. Stir well to blend, then transfer the mixture to a 9-inch gratin dish.
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the spinach.
Place the dish in the hot oven for 20 minutes without covering it. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
