very easy to make yourself!

Cook the spinach in a little salted water. In a second pot, make a roux. Heat the margarine, then stir in the flour and sauté briefly. Then quickly whisk in the milk. Adjust the amount to taste; it should be a thick liquor. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly while stirring. Then stir in the egg, making sure it doesn’t curdle. Season to taste with plenty of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Drain the spinach and squeeze out the remaining liquid. Then stir the spinach into the light sauce. Season again if necessary. We like to serve this with fried potatoes, duchess potatoes, or oven-baked potato wedges. Alternatively, you can thin out the light sauce a bit, mix a bit of grated cheese into the spinach, and then use the whole thing as a pasta sauce.
