Eggs Florentine: A Sophisticated and Flavorful Spin on a Classic Brunch Dish
Eggs Florentine is an elegant and delicious brunch dish that offers a tasty, veggie-packed alternative to the well-known Eggs Benedict.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cup fresh spinach, stems removed
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup hollandaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer, and add a splash of white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water, and drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Eggs Florentine by placing a toasted English muffin half on each plate. Top with a generous portion of sautéed spinach, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle each serving with hollandaise sauce, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant Eggs Florentine!
