Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 duck eggs
- 1 bunch of fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
- 1 cup of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices of cooked ham
- 4 artichoke bottoms
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat and keep warm.
- Once the water is simmering, add the lemon juice to the water. Crack the duck eggs into individual small bowls or ramekins, then carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- To assemble, place a slice of cooked ham on each plate, followed by an artichoke bottom. Top with a portion of the creamed spinach, then place a poached duck egg on top. Spoon the artichoke heart sauce over the eggs, then sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Duck Egg Sardou!
