EGGS FLORENTINE

Ingredients :

1 lb 2 oz (500 g) spinach, rinsed and cooked

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 ¼ cup nonfat milk

¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

4 eggs

Salt

Pepper

Nutmeg

1 tomato in slices (optional)

Preparation:

Melt butter in a medium-size pan. Add flour and stir for 1 or 2 minutes. Gradually add milk stirring constantly, to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce thickens. Add grated cheese and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Cut spinach in medium-size pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Place spinach on the bottom of a lightly greased baking pan. This can be prepared in individual pans too. With the help of a spoon, make 4 holes on the spinach. Carefully place 1 egg in each hole.

Cover eggs with hot sauce and take to oven to broil until golden.

Optional: Garnish with tomato slices if desired.
