Decadent Boursin Creamed Spinach Recipe With Mushrooms (6 Ingredients, 15 Minutes) Side Dishes Dinner Vegetables Vegetarian Gluten-free Sauces/Condiments

Creamed spinach lovers, I have a great new recipe for you. This decadent Boursin creamed spinach recipe with mushrooms is darn delicious! The addition of cremini mushrooms makes this recipe extra special, but the Boursin cheese takes it to an all-new level. Plus, you get the health benefits of spinach and the health benefits of mushrooms.

Boursin cheese is one of my favorite "secret" ingredients. It's amazing served with bread or crackers as an appetizer, but I like it even more as an ingredient that adds a creamy garlic flavor to my dishes. Boursin is a rich spreadable cheese made with garlic, parsley and chives. This wonderful concoction was created by François Boursin, a young French cheesemaker. His recipe was inspired by fromage frais, a traditional French dish that blends garlic, fresh cream, soft cheese, herbs, salt and pepper. François worked on his recipe for two years before debuting Boursin in 1963. I highly recommend using his creation as an ingredient in a variety of savory recipes!

Here's the list of gluten-free ingredients you'll need for this decadent garlic creamed spinach recipe: extra virgin olive oil, onion (check out the health benefits of onions), cremini mushrooms, baby spinach, Boursin cheese and heavy whipping cream. You cook everything in the same pan and it's ready in only about 15 minutes!

You can serve this rich and creamy spinach and mushroom dish over your favorite pasta, grain or potatoes. It's a wonderful side dish all on its own, but it also makes for a succulent sauce to be served with steak, chicken, pork or seafood. I served it for dinner over rice with a piece of Mediterranean salmon. So easy and delicious!
