Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

For White Sauce:
1 qt milk
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
1 oz butter
For Green Phunque:
2 lbs Spinach (chopped)
1 pt Half & Half
1 qt White Sauce (see below)
4 cups Onions (chopped)
4 cups Mushrooms (chopped)
12 eggs
2 cups Bacon (cooked & minced)
½ cup White Cheddar

Steps:

  • For White Sauce: Cook ingredients together, then add a roux to thicken the sauce. For Green Phunque: Cook 2 lbs of chopped spinach in water for about 15 minutes. After spinach is cooked, drain it, and squeeze it to remove all remaining moisture. Add 1 pint of half and half to spinach, and mash with a potato masher until all the liquid is soaked up by the spinach. Add 1 quart of white sauce to spinach and cream ; mash spinach and white sauce together. Lace a skillet with butter, and sauté 4 cups of chopped onions. When onions get soft, add 4 cups of chopped mushrooms, cook for 2 more minutes. Add cooked mushrooms and onions to spinach mixture. In a separate skillet, scramble 12 eggs. Then add 2 cups of pre-cooked bacon (minced) to the scrambled eggs. Add cooked eggs and bacon into spinach mixture, mix and vigorously mash everything together. Put the entire mixture into a baking dish, and cover it with shredded white cheddar cheese. Place in a 450 degree oven for about 2 minutes (until cheese melts and turns golden brown) Serve.
