Ingredients

  • 4 large artichoke hearts
  • 2 cups of fresh spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of paprika

  • 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove and set aside.
  • In a separate pot, bring water and vinegar to a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water and poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and continue cooking until the sauce thickens. Season with cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Eggs Sardou is a classic New Orleans dish that originated in the late 19th century. Named after French playwright Victorien Sardou, it was created by Antoine's Restaurant, one of the oldest family-run restaurants in the United States. This delectable dish features poached eggs nestled on a bed of artichoke bottoms, creamed spinach, and Hollandaise sauce. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a favorite among brunch enthusiasts. Today, the best version of Eggs Sardou can still be found in New Orleans, particularly at Antoine's Restaurant, where it continues to be a beloved specialty. The key to a perfect Eggs Sardou lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation of the Hollandaise sauce. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate Louisiana crawfish into the dish, adding a delightful local touch. Whether enjoyed in its traditional form or with a modern twist, Eggs Sardou remains a timeless culinary delight.
