Notes: Yes you can use whole milk instead of half and half (go any less fatty and you’re not going to like the results).
You can also go the opposite way and use heavy cream. Your taste buds will love me, your jeans may not but hey it is the holidays!
If you’d prefer to use frozen spinach, just defrost and squeeze out as much water as you can. – Use 1 pound of frozen spinach.
Nutmeg may seem like a dessert spice but you’ll love the flavor in this recipe.
