How To Make spinach madeleine

Step 1

Cook spinach according to directions on package. Drain and reserve liquor. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat.

Step 2

Add flour, stirring until blended and smooth, but not brown. Add onion and cook 3-5 minutes until wilted. Add e. milk, spinach liquid, and Worcestershire sauce slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 3

Cook until smooth and thick; continue stirring. Add seasonings and cubed cheese. Stir until melted. Combine with cooked spinach.
Step 4

This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen.
Step 5

Spinach Madeleine is an extremely versatile dish. It can be served with crackers as an appetizer, as a side dish or even as a main course when stuffed in a tomato!
