movieguy Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Potato-Onion Nest with Creamed Spinach and Eggs Ingredients For the Potato-Onion Nest: 1 cup grated baked potato 2 tablespoons grated red onion 1/2 teaspoon salt vegetable oil For the Creamed Spinach and Eggs: 2 tablesoons butter 3 tablespoons unbleached white flour 1-1 1/2 cups milk 1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard freshly ground nutmeg 1 pound fresh spinach, steamed, chopped, and squeezed dry salt and freshly ground pepper 4 eggs Instructions Preheat oven to 450°F. Oil a stoneware pie dish or gratin dish. Mix together potato, onion, and salt, and press mixture into the sides and bottom of the pie plate, forming a 1/2-inch thick crust. Brush lightly with oil. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp. Set aside. While the potato crust in baking, melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour. When it begins to bubble, reduce heat to low, whisking constantly for about 3 minutes. Gradually pour in milk, still whisking, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese, and stir until melted. Stir in the mustard, nutmeg, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from heat. Preheat the broiler. Poach eggs in a little butter, leaving them slightly underdone. Spoon the eggs into the potato crust, and cover with warm creamed spinach. Place the pie under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
