• Boursin cheese: This ingredient powerhouse is a creamy, soft cheese that has been combined with aromatics such as garlic and herbs. This is the star of the show in this recipe.
• Heavy cream: This will help with creating the smooth sauce for the spinach and compliment the flavor and texture of the Boursin cheese.
• Vegetable stock: This will help us dissolve the flour, give some more flavor to the spinach and create a base for the creamy sauce.
• Flour: All purpose flour will help thicken up the sauce.
• Oil: I like using avocado oil to lightly sauté the spinach.
• Salt: To amplify the spinach flavor.
