Spinach, cheese, and bread stuffing


Spinach, cheese, and bread for the inside, or the top, or just the side
We have always been quite smug when getting a little jump ahead. We often throw this together as we are washing and processing the pick for use in the next day or two. It likes to be a stuffing for game hens. A topping for roasted veggie casseroles. Or just a friendly side for grilled skewers.
