Spinach au Gratin
Spinach au gratin is a classic French casserole featuring tender cooked spinach enveloped in a rich cheese sauce, topped with a golden crust of breadcrumbs or broiled cheese. This baked dish balances the vegetable’s natural iron and vitamins A/C with significant calcium from dairy, though its cream and cheese base contributes higher saturated fat and calorie content. The preparation method creates a textural contrast between the creamy spinach mixture and the crisp, caramelized topping, making it a decadent side dish in European and American cuisines.
