Dawn,

Aside from steam artichokes with clarified butter for dipping as a side
dish, my FAVORITE artichoke dish came to me at a Sunday brunch in Redondo
Beach, CA, about 30 years ago.

Eggs Sardou

Toasted English muffins (open-faced) a layer of sauted spinach followed
by an artichoke heart, followed by a poached egg and drowned in
hollendaise sauce.

Sad thing is, I haven't had it in as many years! [sigh]
