Eggs Florentine
Any recipe with Florentine in the title generally implies that spinach is an ingredient as with this recipe. This dish is great if you have some leftover sauteed spinach in the refrigerator, and would be perfect as a brunch offering along with some crispy bacon and tender sausages.
I like my yolks to remain runny, but if you prefer your eggs cooked through, simply leave them in the oven another minute or two. Although I used individual ramekins in this recipes, you could also cook all four eggs in a small, shallow baking dish instead. This is a great weekend breakfast dish, or also makes a nice second course after soup for a light dinner.
Buon Appetito!
