Eggs Sardou is a Creole recipe from Louisiana made with creamed spinach, artichokes, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Rich and creamy, this is definitely a gourmet brunch or breakfast!

This easy Eggs Sardou recipe needs a hollandaise sauce for drizzling, so be sure to make that first so it's ready to go when the eggs are done poaching. (You could use jarred hollandaise if you're in a hurry and here's help if you're not sure how to poach eggs.)
