- Next, melt the butter in a saucepan
- Add flour and keep stirring with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes
- Cook until the mixture turns into a light brown color

Final assembling
- Â Finally, add the cream sauce and pulsed spinach to the skilletÂ

Tips for this recipe
- It’s best to heat the milk before adding it to the cream sauce. This reduces the chances of forming clumps
- Instead of white flour, you can opt for Irish wholemeal flour
- If you’ve just taken out your bacon from the freezer, just use meat scissors to cut the bacon slices. This will speed up the cooking time
- Ideally, get some extra spinach because it tends to reduce its volume after cooking
