                        Salt & pepper
   5      tb            Butter

Clean and wash spinach. Select only the tender leaves and chop these
to measure 1 cup. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and place in a
strainer.

Let drain for 1 hour. In a small pot, melt butter. Add flour,
stirring constantly to a smooth paste. Add the hot milk and stir to
make a thick sauce. Add a little salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Add spinach and scallions to the sauce. Beat egg yolks until very
thick. Beat whites until stiff. Fold yolks into sauce, then fold in
whites. Pour into buttered mold.

Bake immediately in preheated 350°F oven for about 30 minutes. Serve
immediately.
