Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant.
- Add 8 ounces of finely chopped cremini mushrooms and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of dry sherry along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are fully tender.
- While the mushroom mixture cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 2 beaten eggs, 1 cup of chopped spinach, and 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts. Mix well.
- Gently fold the cooled mushroom mixture into the cream cheese blend until evenly combined.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Place your loaf pan in a larger baking dish filled with boiling water and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Let it cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
