Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted, stirring several times.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes while whisking.
Slowly whisk in the milk and continue cooking until thickened. Stir in the sautéed spinach mixture, nutmeg, and heavy cream. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave at reduced power.
