This is my adaptation of the recipe in the River Road Recipes cookbook from the Junior League of Baton Rouge, La. This has been around at least since the 1960's and is still a favorite. It tastes better the next day after it is made. It freezes beautifully.

This is my Mom's recipe and is a staple at every holiday gathering. She calls it Spinach Madeleine -- we just call it great. You can "heat" it up by using jalepeno cheese or adding jalepeno peppers, which is how my mom usually makes it. Great any time -- not just holidays.

SPINACH MADELEINE

Categories     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 packages frozen chopped spinach
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped onion
6 ounces Kraft Velveeta
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup vegetable liquor
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Red pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook spinach according to directions on package. Drain and reserve liquor. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring until blended and smooth, but not brown. Add onion and cook until soft but not brown. Add liquid slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until smooth and thick; continue stirring. Add seasonings, peppers and cheese which has been cut into small pieces. Stir until melted. Combine with cooked spinach. This may be served immediately or put into a casserole and topped with buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the latter is done and kept in refrigerator overnight. This may also be frozen.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, gather all the ingredients and equipment you will need. This will make the cooking process faster and smoother.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and well-drained.
  • Wilt the Spinach: Wilting the spinach before adding it to the batter helps to remove excess moisture and concentrate the flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the madeleines tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Hot Pan: Preheat the madeleine pan over medium heat before adding the batter. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Don't overcrowd the pan with madeleine batter. Leave some space between each madeleine so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook Until Golden Brown: Cook the madeleines until they are golden brown on the bottom and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Cool on a Wire Rack: Let the madeleines cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spinach madeleines are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a special dessert, spinach madeleines are sure to please.
