Spinach in Creamy Feta Sauce image

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy.
