Scalloped Spinach with Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spinach
  • 1 cupful thick White Sauce
  • 1/2 cupful cheese, cut in pieces
  • 2 to 3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
  • 2 cupfuls buttered bread crumbs

Directions

Wash the spinach and cook it by either of the methods given above. Season it with 1/2 tablespoonful of salt.

Drain the moisture from the cooked spinach. Use this liquid combined with milk for the liquid of the White Sauce. Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoonful of salt and add the cheese to it. Stir the mixture until the cheese is blended with the sauce.

Divide the spinach, sauce, and eggs into 2 portions and the bread crumbs into 3 portions. Place a layer of crumbs in a baking-dish, add a layer of spinach, sauce, and eggs. Add another layer of each material and finally the third layer of crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven until the materials are heated and the crumbs browned. Serve hot.
