Ingredients

Method

  1. Drain a can of spinach and chop it very fine, and then mash it until smooth.
  2. Put it in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of chopped chives or grated onion, salt and pepper, and sprinkle the whole surface well with grated nutmeg.
  3. Hard boil 3 eggs, remove the yolks, and mix them thoroughly with the spinach.
  4. Chop the whites, and arrange the spinach on rounds of toast, placing 2 tablespoons on each piece, garnish with the whites of the eggs, and pour on each 2 tablespoons of cheese sauce.
  5. If the arrangement on toast is not desired, the cheese sauce can be mixed with the spinach before serving it.
