Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 3 min.
Spinach parmentier
Cut 300 g cooked spinach into not too large pieces.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Spinach parmentier
Cut 100 g belly (streaky) bacon into small sticks.

Stage 3 - 7 min.
Spinach parmentier
In a small frying pan over medium heat, toast them to your liking.

Stage 4 - 1 min.
Spinach parmentier
When they're nicely grilled, turn off the heat, pour in 2 tablespoons vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom well.

This slight acidity complements the fat, which is sometimes a little pronounced, of the lardons.

Stage 5 - 2 min.
Spinach parmentier
Pour the contents of the pan over the bacon and stir.

Stage 6 - 2 min.
Spinach parmentier
Add 100 g bechamel sauce and mix again.

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Spinach parmentier
Slice or coarsely chop 4 hard-boiled eggs.

Stage 8 - 3 min.
Spinach parmentier
Butter a gratin dish and spread the spinach evenly over the bottom.

Stage 9 - 1 min.
Spinach parmentier
Pour over the hard-boiled eggs.

Stage 10 - 3 min.
Spinach parmentier
Pour over 400 g potato purée and spread in an even layer.

Stage 11 - 2 min.
Spinach parmentier
End with 50 g grated cheese.

Stage 12 - 30 min.
Spinach parmentier
Place in the oven at 180°C (360°F) for around 30 minutes, watching for browning at the end.

Serve hot, but not burnt.
Remarks
The proportions are only indicative, so feel free to adapt them to your taste and what you have on hand.

Note that everything in this parmentier is already cooked, so there's no need to cook it too long. As soon as the top is golden brown and the center is hot, you can remove the lid.

For a more gourmet version, increase the weight of the béchamel a little, and mix the chopped hard-boiled eggs with the spinach.
Keeping: 2 or 3 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
