Notes
- Toppings: I love butter melted over my spoon bread. The Farnsworth House always had apple butter on the table which I couldn’t resist spooning a dollop of on my spoon bread. You could also go with chopped chives and Velvety Smooth Gluten Free Gravy if you’re serving beside a roast. Have fun. It’s up to you.
- Leftovers can be stored tightly covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
