Low Carb Creamed Spinach

Low Carb Creamed SpinachLow Carb Creamed SpinachLow Carb Creamed SpinachLow Carb Creamed Spinach. My husband and I, his brothers, their wives, and sister all got together for a week and rented a house on the spectacular Oregon Coast a couple of years ago. As part of “our night to fix dinner” for everyone, this low carb creamed spinach was one of the vegetables I prepared.  The comment I remember Kent making was “I think this may be the best use of spinach I have ever tasted”.  Who could ask for anything more?  They knew I was diabetic and probably expected “whatever”  but we wowed ’em good.

This is also the base I use for Oysters Rockefeller.

This very good with Au Gratin Casserole Topping but it is also super with crumbled bacon.

Notes
  1. Another way (the way I do it) is to heat spinach mixture in the microwave, top it with pork skins, & pop it into a 375 degree (toaster) oven until browned. It saves a lot of time & electricity. If topping does not get crispy brown, broil until it does.
  2. You could also use shallots in place of the onions.
  3. As a variation for breakfast heat, and put a fried egg on top. If you have leftovers so what if the crumbs are there-top with an egg and chow down baby.
  4. Another use: Put oysters under crumbs and top with Hollandaise sauce for Oysters Rockefeller.
  5. Sprinkle with bacon.
  6. Mix bacon into spinach mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
