Spinach Soufflé

The original of this recipe calls for cornbread stuffing mix as the topping. It works perfectly well and every bit as tasty using almond meal mixed with grated parmesan (my new favorite breading).

(this recipe has converted some of the most intractable spinach-haters . . . one that I know personally now requests it for every holiday meal! 😀 😀 :D)

Low-carb Spinach Soufflé

1 16-oz bag frozen spinach
1 3-oz pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp. butter, softened
1/4 – 1/2 cup almond meal (with or without parmesan added)

Thaw spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Blend together cream cheese & butter; add to spinach & mix well.

Spoon into 1-quart casserole dish & sprinkle almond meal evenly over all.

Bake about 30 minutes at 350°, until topping browns nicely.
