3. Add flour and brown for 30 seconds

I was in the mood for creamed spinach, but I didn’t want a heavy creamy spinach, so I adapted it to this. I sprinkled extra Parmesan on top, but it’s better without the extra cheese.

I used mustard greens and spinach in this because I accidentally bought frozen mustard greens, and I think I like their texture a little better.
