Boursin creamed spinach is a side dish that combines the creamy texture of Boursin cheese with the earthy flavor of spinach. It's a simple dish to make, and it can be served with a variety of main courses, from roasted chicken to grilled salmon. The creamy sauce is made with a combination of Boursin cheese, cream, and milk, and it's seasoned with garlic, onion, and nutmeg. The spinach is cooked until it's wilted, and then it's added to the sauce. The dish can be served immediately, or it can be baked in the oven until it's bubbly and golden brown.
