"For president Calvin Coolidge. Giasofei originated a new way to cook eggs, called Eggs à la Coolidge: "He takes two handfuls of cooked spinach and chops it very fine, adding six tablespoons of butter. Mixing well, he seasons with salt and pepper and cooks for 15 minutes. Then he puts the creamed spinach in six little individual baking dishes, placing a poached egg on each and covering with cream sauce and a sprinkle of grated cheese (Vermont cheddar cheese). A few minutes in a hot oven and the president's favorite dish is ready.""
