Spinach filling

Creamy cheese sauce

Method

Spinach filling

  1. 1

    Prepare spinach

    Rinse spinach thoroughly and pat dry. Remove thick stems if needed.

  2. 2

    Sauté garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Wilt spinach

    Add spinach in batches, cooking until wilted and any moisture cooks off.

  4. 4

    Season

    Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook briefly to meld flavors, then remove from heat.

Creamy cheese sauce

  1. 5

    Make roux

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.

  2. 6

    Add milk

    Whisk in milk gradually, cooking until the mixture thickens to a light sauce.

  3. 7

    Finish sauce

    Stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, and salt until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

Eggs and assembly

  1. 8

    Cook the eggs

    In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium-low. Crack eggs and cook until desired doneness (poached or sunny-side up).

  2. 9

    Toast bread

    Toast bread slices until golden; keep warm.

  3. 10

    Assemble

    Spread a bed of warm spinach on each toast, top with an egg, spoon sauce over, and grate extra Parmesan on top.
