Large Fresh artichoke bottoms  
Teaspoon Vinegar  
Eggs  
Cup Hollandaise sauce; warm  
Tablespoon Chopped parsley  
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.
