Ingredients

350g bag Asda Spinach

25g butter

25g plain flour

300ml semi-skimmed milk

100g Asda Lighter Mature Cheddar Cheese, grated

2 tsp Asda Coarse Grain Mustard

4 large free-range eggs

New potatoes (or crusty bread)

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Rinse the spinach in plenty of cold water, then drain. Cook the spinach in a large pan, without adding water, until it wilts. Drain in a colander, pressing with the back of a large spoon to extract as much water as possible. Chop roughly.
2
Melt the butter in a small pan, then stir in the flour. Cook, stirring all the time, over a low heat and whisk in the milk. Bring to the boil, whisking all the time, and simmer for 1 minute.
3
Remove from the heat, stir in the cheese, mustard and chopped spinach, and season well. Put in an ovenproof dish.
4
Make four holes in the surface. Break the eggs one at a time into a small container and gently tip them into the holes. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the whites are set.
5
Serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.
