Creamed Spinach

Creamed Spinach

Everyday

Creamed spinach is a classic American side dish featuring tender cooked spinach blended with a rich cream or béchamel sauce. The dish combines the leafy green's natural abundance of vitamins A, C, and iron with dairy-based ingredients that contribute significant calcium and saturated fats. Typically seasoned with nutmeg and garlic, it's commonly served as a steakhouse accompaniment but adapts well to low-fat preparations using milk alternatives.
