Christmas Dinner - Spinach

Surprise, surprise, another Real Simple recipe graced our dinner table.

I halved this recipe for Baked Spinach and Gruyere. Even half the recipe wound up being more than enough with everything we had.  Luckily, the leftovers were tasty for days.  It had great flavor, I can’t wait to make this again. 

It was really pretty simple to make, and the ingredients were easy for me to find (I always have boxes of chopped frozen spinach in the freezer!)  I even found shredded gruyere at the market down the street.  I didn’t have nutmeg, so I used a little shake of “Apple Pie Spice” and I used 2% instead of whole milk.

I made it an hour or two before everyone arrived, and did not bake it for the full amount of time (I let it cool on the counter awhile, then stuck it in the fridge, but it didn’t really have time to get cold in there).  Then, when I took the roast out, I put this back in the oven (I think I had it around 375 or 350 for the crescent rolls) and sprinkled the extra gruyere on top.  Tasty!
