To poach eggs, place in saucepan and add enough water to cover 1 inch above the eggs and bring the water to just below boiling point. Break eggs one at a time into saucer or cup and slip gently into water. Always poach eggs at the simmering point.

Saute 4 artichoke hearts in butter and arrange on a platter. Heat mushroom puree and garnish the hearts. Top each with a poached egg and cover with a well-thickened Bechamel sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Brown in the oven and serve.

Makes 2 servings.
