Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts and starts to foam, add the onions and sauté them for about 3 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic to the onions and sauté for another minute.
Add all of the spinach to the pan and cook until it is all wilted. This will take 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the cream and milk into the pan, followed by the nutmeg, dried basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until it thickens.
Stir the parmesan and swiss cheese into the spinach until it melts and is fully incorporated. Taste the spinach and season with salt and pepper as needed.
