Eggs Florentine
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, wilt 2 cups of fresh spinach over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- Fill a large saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Crack one egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, or longer if desired.
- While the eggs are poaching, prepare the hollandaise sauce. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it is bubbling hot. Slowly pour the hot butter into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until the sauce is thickened and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
- To assemble, place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top each half with a portion of the wilted spinach. Carefully remove the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place one on each muffin half.
- Spoon the hollandaise sauce over the poached eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Eggs Florentine is a classic brunch dish that originated in France. It consists of poached eggs nestled on a bed of sautéed spinach, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce. The dish is said to have been inspired by the traditional Italian dish "Florentine" which incorporates spinach. The rich history of Eggs Florentine can be traced back to the renowned French chef, Auguste Escoffier, who popularized the dish in the late 19th century. Today, Eggs Florentine can be found on brunch menus worldwide, with variations that include the addition of cheese, mushrooms, or smoked salmon. For the best Eggs Florentine experience, seek out a restaurant known for its expertly poached eggs and velvety hollandaise sauce.
