3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion minced
6 cloves garlic chopped
2 pounds frozen spinach thawed and well drained (or 3 pounds/1.5 kilos fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and finely chopped)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 350° F/175° C.
In the large saute pan, melt the butter. Add onions and cook over medium to medium-high heat until onions start to caramelize. Add the garlic and saute until garlic starts to turn golden.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the spinach and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cream thickens.
Remove from heat and transfer into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the top with cheese and place in the oven. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.
