Categories: Emlive03

Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients:

6 tb Butter
2 tb Flour
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Heavy cream
1 1/2 lb Fresh spinach; finely
-chopped
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground white pepper;
-to taste
8 lg Fresh artichoke bottoms
1 ts Vinegar
8 Eggs
2 c Hollandaise sauce; warm
1 tb Chopped parsley

Instructions:
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Stir in the flour and mix well. Cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and
cream slowly and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and
cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in
the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Continue to simmer for 1
minute. Remove from the heat and keep warm. In another saute pan, over
medium heat, melt the remaining butter. Add the artichoke bottoms to the
pan and saute for 2 minutes. (Just the heat the artichokes through.) Season
the artichokes with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and remove
from the heat. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vinegar to
the water. Crack each egg into a small cup. Carefully slide one egg into
the water. When the water has come back to a slight boil, slide in another
egg. Continue the process until all the eggs are in the water. Reduce the
heat to a simmer and cook until the eggs are set, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the water and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the
eggs with salt and pepper. To assemble, spoon the creamed spinach in the
center of each artichoke bottom. Place the filled artichokes on a platter.
Lay the poached eggs directly on top of the creamed spinach. Drizzle the
hollandaise over the poached egg. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields
4 servings.
