Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C.
- Put the spinach into a large pan of salted water and boil just until wilted.
- Drain, splash with cold water and spread out in a colander to drain and cool thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, make a thick white sauce by melting 25g of the butter in a pan.
- Stir in the flour and then add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps as the milk comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and leave to simmer gently for five minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche.
- Add the eggs, beating one at a time.
- Once the spinach is cool, squeeze it to remove as much water as possible.
- Chop it a few times and stir it into the sauce.
- Tip the mixture into a baking dish.
- Smooth the surface and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.
- Dot with the remaining butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until puffed and risen and the top has an even crust.
- Serve immediately.
