Eggs and Spinach Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Eggs and Spinach Recipe, first prepare some spinach by washing very carefully, and then boiling till tender. Put into cold water to keep the color good, and when quite cold press the water out of it, a little at a time, in a towel. Chop it very fine, and put it into a stewpan with a lump of butter and some rich gravy. Boil it quickly in this, and add pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Or it may be stewed with cream and a little sugar, which is a very delicate method. Poach 6 eggs, and trim them neatly. Serve them upon the spinach. Time, ten to fifteen minutes to boil; five minutes to stew. Sufficient for three persons.
