Eggs Florentine On An English Muffin Food

EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Melt butter. Melt butter in a small sauce pan.
• Beat egg yolks. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Add in the lime juice, heavy cream, and salt and pepper.
• Tempur the eggs. Next you need to tempur the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot butter to the egg mixture. Stir it well and repeat this process, slowly adding one spoonful of hot butter to the egg mixture. We do this to avoid curdling the eggs.
• Return to saucepan. Finally, add the whole mixture back to the saucepan and cook it for a few more seconds.
• Heat water. Fill the pot with about 3 inches of water. Heat the water until it starts to steam and bubble (just before boiling point).
• Add vinegar. Add a splash of vinegar to the water (this helps the egg stay together once it is in the water).
• Crack egg. Crack one egg in a small dish (I like to use a small measuring cup).
• Whirlpool. Next, create a gentle whirlpool in the water by taking a large spoon and circling it around in the water. Poor your egg into the center of the swirl.
• Cook. While it's cooking, make sure to watch the water temperature. You never want the water to boil, so if it gets too hot, you may need to turn down the heat. It should stay just below boing point. How log you cook your poached egg depends on personal preference. I like to cook it for 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon!
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream, and let the mixture simmer for a couple minutes until is starts to thicken slightly.
• Add baby spinach leaves and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes or until the leaves are wilted. Remove from heat and season with a dash of salt and pepper.
• Toast the english muffin and lightly butter it. Layer spinach on top of the english muffin and place egg on top of spinach. Top with hollandaise sauce.

Add the remaining spinach, the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until all of the spinach wilts, about 3 more minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander and let cool, then squeeze out the excess moisture. Chop the spinach.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Arrange half of the English muffin pieces in the prepared baking dish. Top with half each of the spinach, scallions and cheese. Top with the remaining English muffin pieces, spinach, scallions and cheese. Pour the egg mixture onto the casserole, then press down on the English muffins to submerge them. Cover with foil and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
• Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the casserole, covered, until just set, about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is lightly browned, about 20 more minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve with creme fraiche.

EGGS FLORENTINE MADE EASY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• First, prepare the spinach. Heat up a pan large enough to hold all the spinach.
• When it is very hot, add a splash of olive oil and throw in the spinach. Turn it over using tongs for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Do not overcook the spinach or it will become slimy.
• Tip the spinach into a colander and press out any excess liquid with the back of a spoon. Return the spinach to the pan and divide into four portions. Keep warm by covering with a lid or a tea towel. Preheat the grill.
• To poach the eggs, bring a pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar. When simmering, gently crack the eggs and slip them into the water without breaking the yolks. Poach the eggs for about 3 minutes or until the whites are set, but the yolks are still soft.
• Meanwhile, split the muffins and toast them on both sides on the grill. Butter lightly and place onto warmed plates.
• Put a portion of spinach on each muffin half and keep warm under the grill.
• When the eggs are done, lift them out with a slotted spoon and pat dry with kitchen paper. Place one on each muffin half and spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of hollandaise and grated nutmeg over top and. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Put the washed spinach in a saucepan with a lid and cook until wilted, 2-4 minutes, or put the washed spinach in a microwave-safe covered dish and cook on high until wilted, 1-3 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
• Put the mayonnaise, mustard and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl, and blend well; aim for a definite lemon flavour, so add more juice if it isn't noticeable.
• Cut the croissants in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on plates.
• Drizzle each with 1/8th of the sauce, (put tomato slices on now if you want) divide spinach into four portions and place on croissant halves, and drizzle the rest of the sauce on the spinach.
• Poach the eggs: I am hopeless at poaching them in a saucepan, so I do mine one-by-one in the microwave in a small lidded ceramic bowl; you could use ramekins or another small dish.
• Grease the inside of the bowl with a bit of the butter, add 1 tbsp cold water and one egg; pierce the yolk lightly with a fork so it doesn't explode.
• Cook on medium for 30 seconds, check for doneness (set white, still soft yolk) and if necessary cook in 10-15 second increments until the white is fully set, but keep the yolk pretty soft.
• Put one egg on each croissant, and serve.
• p.s. If you are more ambitious, make real hollandaise sauce, such as #49031, instead my cheat!
• p.p.s. When I am REALLY lazy, I just use lightly browned toast instead of the croissant, but it's not nearly as nice.
