- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and drained to remove any grit or excess water.

- Gradually add the heavy whipping cream to the spinach mixture, allowing it to heat slowly and thicken for a consistent, creamy texture.
- Adjust the amount of nutmeg to your taste preferences; a little goes a long way in enhancing the dish without overpowering it.

- Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the creamy consistency at its best.
