How to Make Spinach With Blue Cheese And Walnuts

  1. Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  2. Place the spinach in a large saucepan. Add just enough water to barely cover the bottom of the pan (about 1 tablespoon). Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the wilted spinach to a colander and let it drain well. Alternatively, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess water.
  4. Melt the butter in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add the drained spinach and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts and crumbled blue cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly softened and melted but still holds its shape (don't overcook!).
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra walnuts or a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
