Note: Oysters Rockefeller without the oysters. Spinach Rockefeller, AKA "Rock Spinach," at Galatoire's, can be baked in a large dish, as suggested here, or it can be baked in individual gratin dishes. It is crucial that a maximum of surface space is exposed to the broiler in order to get the desirable light, crackled crust and browned edges on the dish. Do not bake this in a deep casserole dish without adequate surface exposure.
