Final assembling

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
