There’s something utterly comforting about starting your day with a plate of Eggs Florentine. This dish, with its perfect blend of creamy spinach, poached eggs, and rich hollandaise sauce, is a treat I stumbled upon during a quaint morning in a local café in Tuscany. Its velvety textures and complex flavors instantly captured my heart and my palate.
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add the vinegar. Crack eggs one at a time into a bowl and gently slide into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Sauté the spinach in butter over medium heat until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, then divide onto the English muffins.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add melted butter to the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Return the mixture to the saucepan and whisk over low heat until the sauce thickens.
Place the poached eggs on top of the wilted spinach on each muffin half. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce, and serve immediately. Enjoy the bliss in every bite!
