Instructions

Step 1

In microwave or in a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, bread crumbs and melted butter. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat broiler to high. In a large ovenproof skillet set over medium heat, melt remaining butter; cook onion for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly softened. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 to 4 minutes or just until beginning to brown. Slowly whisk in milk, then bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 4 to 6 minutes or until thickened. 

Step 3

Stir in spinach, artichokes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat and cook for. 10 to 12 minutes or until spinach is wilted and mixture is thickened and creamy.

Step 4 

Top creamed spinach mixture with poached eggs and sprinkle with bread crumb topping. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until topping is toasted. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Cook’s Tip

For a more sophisticated presentation, divide spinach mixture, eggs and bread crumb topping between greased individual (2-cup/500 mL) gratin dishes.
