Started making this about 40 years ago, changed ingredients and both things, basically my recipe. Quantities of ingredients are as I make it. Tradition on Thanksgiving.

Steps

1

I cut off the crust and sometimes dry overnight first, then cut into croutons size with a serrated knife.
2

In a small skillet, melt 2 Tbsp+butter and add a crushed garlic clove.
3

After the galic has sweat, add the bread and toss until browned. Set aside.
4

Thaw and squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach then roughly chop.
5

Melt the rest of the butter and saute the spinach.
6

Add some cayenne, nutmeg and salt and pepper, all to taste.
7

When it tastes right, set aside until just before serving.
8

When ready to serve, reheat the spinach.
9

Then add some sour cream, how much is up to you.
10

Finish by stirring in the croutons.

Retired at age 55 and enjoying the mountains. I'm now 72, married for 50 years. :) I love to cook but I don't care if ingredients are Organic nor GMO, Gluten-free, low calorie, or low Cholesterol! And Never use low/no-Fat as I enjoy good food. I never take procedural pictures as most cooks know how to boil water and stir sauces.
