Haddock and egg Florentine bake
Spinach and eggs are the perfect combination, and both are good sources of the antioxidant zeaxanthin, which has been shown to be important for eye health. The haddock provides plenty of protein, and you can use the smoked variety to add extra flavour.
Ingredients
Per portion: 550kcal, 29g fat, 18g carbohydrate, 55g protein
300g tub of fresh cheese sauce
500g haddock fillets
4 eggs, semi-hard boiled, roughly chopped
800g young leaf spinach
40g fresh breadcrumbs
2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
Pinch of nutmeg
150g mozzarella, chopped
40g freshly grated Parmesan
Freshly milled pepper
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7.
Place the spinach in microwavable dish with a little water and microwave for 1 minute to wilt. When cooled slightly, roughly chop.
Mix the chives with the cheese sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of the sauce to the spinach, season with black pepper and nutmeg, then arrange in a large ovenproof dish.
Place the fish fillets and chopped eggs on top of the spinach and season again. Scatter the mozzarella over the surface, then spoon the rest of the sauce evenly over the fish, using a spatula to spread it to the corners.
Mix the Parmesan with the breadcrumbs and scatter this over the sauce.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden. Serve with peas.
