Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 c. spinach leaves - (abt 4 ounce) rinsed, crisped
- 6 sht filo dough - (abt 12" by 18")
- 6 Tbsp. melted butter or possibly margarine
- 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
- 6 lrg Large eggs Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste

- 1 c. Hollandaise Sauce (see recipe) Paprika to taste
Directions
- Stack 1/2 c. spinach leaves and cut into thin slivers.
- Lay 1 filo sheet flat and brush lightly with butter; cover remaining dough with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Lay another filo sheet onto the buttered piece; brush top lightly with butter. Cut stack into 6 equal squares; cover with plastic wrap. Repeat to make a total of 18 filo squares.
- Butter 6 muffin or possibly custard c. (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches wide; if using a muffin pan, butter alternate c.). Press 3 filo squares into each c., overlapping, to line the cavity smoothly; filo edges will extend above the rim (in muffin pans, arrange so filo edges do not touch).
- Sprinkle 2 tsp. grated parmesan into each filo basket and top with about 1 Tbsp. slivered spinach leaves. Break 1 egg into each filo basket, lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sprinkle Large eggs equally with green onion.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven till filo is golden brown and Large eggs are softly set when gently shaken, 18 to 20 min.
- Meanwhile, mound remaining spinach equally onto dinner plates. Using a spoon and a small spatula, gently lift egg blossom baskets from baking c. and set 1 on each plate. Add in Hollandaise Sauce to taste. Dust with paprika.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
