Ingredients
 
 

For the creamed spinach:

  • 24 ounces frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 ½ cups non-dairy milk
  • 4 Tablespoons gluten free flour
  • 4 Tablespoons water
  • 1 ½ cups Daiya mozzarella cheese shreds
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

For the breadcrumbs:

Instructions
 

Make the creamed spinach:

  • Place the olive oil and chopped onion in a pan, and saute until softened, about five minutes. Add the spinach, and stir until cooked through.
  • Add the non-dairy milk and stir. Combine the flour and water in a small container with a lid, and shake until the lumps are gone. Drizzle into the spinach mixture and stir until thickened.
  • Add the buttery spread, garlic salt, and pepper, and stir. Add the Daiya cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly to melt and incorporate.

Make the breadcrumb topping:

  • Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the six slices of bread that you have broken into pieces and saute the pieces in the oil. Keep stirring, don’t let them burn! You want them to be golden brown. Season with the garlic salt.
  • To serve, pour the spinach mixture into a casserole dish or serving dish, and top with garlic buttery breadcrumbs.

Notes

Use the bread that works for your diet - could be gluten free, whole grain, or grain free - you choose!
You could also use two cups of store bought gluten free breadcrumbs if you prefer.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.
