Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
½ cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon granulated onion
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
⅔ cup shredded habanero-flavored cheese (such as Cabot®)
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs

Directions

Place spinach and water in a microwave-safe steamer. Microwave until spinach is wilted down, about 2 minutes. Drain off liquid and set spinach aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk in flour to create a paste. Season with salt. Pour in half-and-half, whisking continuously until smooth. Add onion, garlic, ancho chile powder, and cayenne, whisking until incorporated. Add spinach.
Set aside 2 tablespoons habanero-flavored cheese. Stir remaining cheese into the spinach mixture and spoon into a small oval baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
