["Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 C.) and lightly butter a 13x9x2 inch oven proof casserole dish or ""cake pan"" and set aside.", "Melt butter in a 4 qt.", "to 5 quarts (4725 ml) dutch oven or pot over medium heat.", "Stir in the onions, scallions, and the garlic.", "Cover the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring every now and then to check to make sure the onions and garlic are not browning, but become soft and tender.", "Stir in the spinach, the artichoke hearts and the chicken broth, cover and cook for about 10 minutes or so, until the artichokes are tender, then salt and pepper to taste.", "Spread the mixture as evenly as you can into the buttered casserole dish.", "Slice the hard boiled eggs (an egg slicer is perfect for this) and spread them on top of the spinach artichoke mixture covering it as much as possible, overlapping is great, don't worry about it.", "Using the same size pot, a 4 5 quarts (4725 ml) dutch oven or pot, melt 3 tbsp (45 ml) of the butter over medium heat.", "Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or so, making a nice roux.", "Pour in the cream and 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) to 1-3/4 cups (425 ml) of chicken broth (depends if you want a thicker or thinner sauce, I like thicker), and whisk the sauce until it is well blended and no lumps are seen.", "Cover the pot and take it off the heat and let it ""calm down and set-up"" for about a minute.", "Put the pot on the burner again and bring the sauce to a boil until the sauce starts to really thicken, reduce the heat and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring contantly so it won't stick and blends.", "Remove from the heat for the last time and add the cheese, 2 tbsp (30 ml) of butter, the lemon juice, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.", "Blend it all together and then carefully spoon or pour it over the artichoke and hard boiled eggs in the casserole dish so all areas are covered.", "Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for a good 25 minutes until well heated, then uncover the dish and bake it for about 10-15 minutes longer until it is bubbling, but NOT not browned.", "Take it from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving."]
