Originated at Green Springs Inn in St. Francisville, LA by Madeline Nevill, this dish has become a favorite nationwide. (From Tony's Seafood in Lousinana website). Need I say more? Yum. Since the garlic cheese roll is hard to find in some areas (mine included) you could substitute Boursin, Alouette or Rondele as they make spreadable flavored fresh cheeses in garlic flavor.

Very tasty spinach side dish! I served this alongside Pork Chops Marsala With Asparagus Pork Chops Marsala With Asparagus last night. The partner and I enjoyed immensely, although the whole recipe made enough for leftovers for tonite! I used Boursin low-fat garlic and herb cheese. Like another reviewer, the cheese on top did not want to cooperate by melting. Next time I think I'd just throw it in with the sauce to make it richer and maybe sprinkle parm on top. Next time I also think I would add salt to the spinach as well as the sauce mixture. Thanks for sharing!

    I made this recipe for Easter and thought it was very good. I doubled all ingredients exactly as written (using Rondele Garlic and Herb spread instead of cheese roll), and baked in a 9x13 Le Creuset casserole. It was perfectly cooked, although the cheese on top didn't melt particularly well. It didn't fly off the buffet table, but I think that's because not everyone loves spinach like I do. Oh well, more leftovers for me. If I make this again, I'll try to track down the cheese rolls.

    We liked this alot and were lucky enough to have found the very last garlic cheese roll in the store! I think I may have overcooked it a bit, we found it a little dry, less cook time next time! Very delicous flavor.
