Which dish features an applewood smoked bacon cream sauce?

• A. Creamed Spinach
• B. Asparagus and Hollandaise
• C. Jalapeño Au Gratin
• D. Au Poivre

Answer: (A)

Think about how a smoky, bacon-infused cream brings a rich, velvety coating to greens. Creamed spinach is the classic dish that uses a creamy sauce folded with spinach, often enriched with bacon bits, and when that bacon is applewood smoked, it adds a distinct smoky depth to the sauce. The other options rely on different flavor foundations—a hollandaise is a lemony butter emulsion; au poivre features a peppercorn cream typically paired with steak; jalapeño au gratin centers on cheese and spice. The applewood smoked bacon cream sauce signature fits creamed spinach best, making that dish the match.
