This creamy, cheesy keto creamed spinach is a quick and easy low-carb side dish made with simple ingredients. Rich in flavor and ready in just 20 minutes, it goes perfectly with steak, chicken, or even on its own.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb fresh spinach (or 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry)

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: pinch of ground nutmeg

  • Optional: crushed red pepper for heat

Instructions

  1. If using fresh spinach, cook it in a pan with a splash of water until wilted, then drain. If using frozen, thaw and squeeze out all water.

  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

  3. Stir in cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth and melted.

  4. Add parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until creamy.

  5. Add spinach and mix well until it’s fully coated in sauce.

  6. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Use real parmesan for better flavor.

  • Squeeze spinach well to avoid watery sauce.

  • Add cooked bacon or mushrooms for extra flavor.

  • Reheats well for 2–3 days in the fridge.
