What you need

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh spinach, washed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole goat's milk, warmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

Method

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wilt the spinach in a large pot over medium heat with just the water clinging to the leaves, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well, cool slightly, and squeeze out excess liquid; roughly chop.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually whisk in the warmed goat's milk until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  4. Fold the chopped spinach into the sauce and transfer to a buttered baking dish.
  5. Top with Gruyère and breadcrumbs and bake 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
