CREAMED SPINACH



Creamed Spinach image

This classic dish, a staple of high-end steakhouses and humble tables alike, is one that every cook should learn to make. We've carefully crafted this recipe to capture the ultimate classic creamed-spinach characteristics so that it can be your textbook version and an heirloom to pass down. Once you've made it and seen how easy it is, there's a good chance it'll be on your table more often than for just special-occasion feasts. It's creamy and satisfying even though it takes just 35 minutes to make. The ingredients are all easily accessible staples, but the inclusion of nutmeg might surprise you. If you associate that spice more with cookies than vegetables, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Rather than dominating the dish, or even standing out on its own, nutmeg in this application serves to elevate the flavors of the key ingredients-cream and spinach-and bring them into harmony. As a finishing touch, we've added butter-toasted panko bread crumbs for a pleasant little crunch that we think you'll find very satisfying.
