merryb,

You're headed towards Eggs Sardou.

Open-faced toasted English muffins lightly spread with creamed spinach,
followed with the artichoke bottom then nestle a poached (or your favorite
style) egg in it and drown in hollandaise.

Here's a version:

Crab or bay shrimp would certainly be a great substitute (or addition) to
the egg! Eggs Sardou+.

Happy anniversary!

Best,
