1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 tablespoons madeira |
8 eggs poached in water with 1/2 teaspoon tarragon vinegar |
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
sauce |
3 egg yolks |
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 cup lightly salted butter melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler then lightly butter 2 baking sheets and place bread on sheets.
2. Puree spinach, sour cream, onion, salt, pepper, nutmeg and Madeira.
3. Spread mixture over bread slices then top with poached eggs.
