  1. Incredible side dish I could eat it every day
     
  2. Halved the recipe for the two of us. Used gruyere cheese, also for the topping. The minor change I made was adding some grated nutmeg when I mixed it because we like that with spinach. Will make this again because we both enjoyed it very much and I like it that it can be prepared in advance. Thank you!
     
  3. I made this for Thanksgiving because I wanted to try something new, and boy am I glad I did! It's so tasty...and leftovers are even better heated up the next day! My husband, who doesn't TOUCH vegetables, loved this! Thanks.
     
  4. You've done it again! I took this to our family Thanksgiving and it was plenty. I baked it in a 9x13 cake pan, used sweet onions chopped fine, gruyere cheese, whipping cream and 2% milk. It was delicious. Thanks, Kittencal for another great recipe. Carole in Orlando
