Steps:
- Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a 9-inch saucepan. Break each egg into a demitasse cup with a rounded bottom. Smoothly pour eggs into water, and poach 2 to 3 minutes, until as firm as desired. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of warm water.
- If using fresh spinach, stem, wash well and cook in a heavy pan until limp. Drain thoroughly in a sieve, pressing to remove as much water as possible. Pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped, and strain again. If using frozen spinach, defrost in a sieve under hot running water. Press with the back of a spoon to remove as much water as possible.
- Butter inside of 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
- To make the sauce, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in flour. Whisk thoroughly. Whisk in milk or half-and-half. Stir into the corners to incorporate any bits of flour and butter, and whisk again. Place over low heat, and whisk and stir constantly for 8 minutes. Put in food processor, and process until completely smooth. Combine half the sauce with spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and pinch of nutmeg.
- Preheat broiler, placing rack at highest level. Stir 1/2 cup cheese into remaining sauce.
- Make a smooth layer of the spinach in the buttered pan. With the back of a kitchen spoon make 4 depressions that do not touch and that are about 1 inch from the edge of the pan.
- Drain eggs. Place one in each depression. Divide sauce to cover eggs. Do not let sauce touch sides of pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese all over the top. Place pan on a cookie sheet, and broil 4 minutes.
