It was delicious!! I made it in individual ramekins. The picture does not do justice to the dish. It looked beautiful coming out off the oven, but it deflated by the time I got the camera :( We had it as a side dish for Parmesan Chicken. -
Love this recipe. I made this following the instructions, but added a can of drained, chopped artichoke hearts to it with a bit more half & half. It bakes up beautifully. Since it was just hubby and I, we had leftovers. The following day, I then put the leftovers in my "Little Dipper" crock, added a splash more half & half and and about 1 ounce of cubed, cream cheese and let it go. This made for a wonderful dip with crispy pita chips. I'm so happy that you posted your recipe. (Made for PRMR) -
This was fantastic! I enjoyed it far more than creamed spinach, and it is healthier! It is really impressive fresh from the oven because it poofs up, but it does fall as it cools. I like to make dishes like this in individual ramekins since I am only cooking for one or two. -
So good, the only change I made was to use fresh spinach from my garden and steamed first. One of the best spinach dishes I've made, the fresh ground nutmeg really threw it over the top. I miss you my friend and still make many of your recipes.
