List of Ingredients



• 1 bunch fresh spinach (about 1 pound)

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  
• Dash of garlic salt
  
• ½ cup milk

2. In the same pan melt the butter. Stir in the flour and garlic salt and cook until it's bubbly and begins to turn golden.
   
   
3. Stir in the milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Final Comments


• Consider adding sautéed onions or mushrooms. It's also good with ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce. It's an ideal omelet filling.
