  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add shallot (or onion); cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes.

2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbling, about 30 seconds. Add milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir the spinach into the sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.

Ingredient Note: The sturdier texture of mature spinach stands up better to sauteing than baby spinach and it's a more economical choice. We prefer to serve baby spinach raw.

Great Creamed Spinach

I made this recipe in 15 min. after working all day. It was delicious! I did change it a little bit. I sauteed some minced garlic after I sauteed the green onions. Then added the spinach, mature spinich does work best, it's heartier, firmer. I covered it and let the spinach wilt, then I poured the cream sauce into the skillet with the spinach. I folded the sauce into the spinach so not to break up the spinach, too much. Great recipe and EASY!!
