Boursin Creamed Spinach

I know the posts are few and far between right now, but it's the holiday season and we are in Michigan visiting with family.  In addition to seeing all of our wonderful family, I get to have a few meals cooked for me courtesy of my Madre!  We just spent a few days in Wisconsin Dells and my Mom made this creamed spinach, it was delicious :)

Boursin Creamed Spinach

Saute in 1 T. unsalted butter:
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced

Enjoy!
