Recipe: Eggs Florentine in a Flash

I've slightly amended one of the NYTimes spinach recipes and come with an (almost) perfect eggs florentine that took about 10 minutes. The sauce is runny, so next time it'll be a roux instead of butter and wine.
In a very small pot, bring a tablespoon of butter and about 1/2 - 2/3 a cup of white wine to a boil. Turn down and toss about half a pound of spinach in. Cover and turn to medium or medium-low heat.
Let the spinach steam for a minute or two, then uncover stir up. (In the roux version, this is where I'll be scattering in some flour.) When all the spinach has wilted down, poke a couple of holes into it and crack an egg into each one. Cover again and let sit for 3-4 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs poached.
When they're done, slide everything into a deep dish. Scatter parmesan cheese on top. (Something with a little crunch may not go awry - possibly toasted breadcrumbs?
I ate it with some of M's biscuits; an excellent meal that whipped up nigh onto instantly.
