Author Notes
This dairy-free version of the steak house staple has all the richness of creamed spinach—and you won’t miss the cream. Planet Oat Unsweetened Original Oatmilk does a heroic job of transforming baby spinach and sturdy kale into a velvety yet substantial dish.
The best part is how quickly this weeknight side comes together. Everything goes into the same pot, and the oat milk roux wilts the greens as it thickens. Don’t forget to tee up your ingredients beforehand because they are called to bat in quick succession.
Nutmeg, nutritional yeast, and white pepper lend a savory, slightly nutty flavor; a hit of sherry vinegar adds brightness. Cook the greens to your liking—they can be super soft or slightly al dente. The deeply savory miso breadcrumb topping adds crunch and makes the green vegetables taste like team mac and cheese. —Shana Liebman
