I thought I was so cool when I learned how to make this in high school. My Mom had clearly entered her "gourmet" days when she started making this recipe . I love it to this day. The pinch of nutmeg is a perfect touch.

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 chopped shallots
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained (see Note)
• 1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy cream
