Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut off bread crusts. Brush both sides of bread slices with butter. Gently press one slice into each cup of a standard muffin tin. Place 1 tablespoon spinach in each bread cup, then crack an egg into each; season with salt and pepper.

STEAK AND EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Bring 3 inches of water to a boil in a large wide pot. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board to rest.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium; add the spinach and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the English muffin halves among plates and top with the spinach.
• Meanwhile, combine the egg yolk, butter, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Add the vinegar to the boiling water, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin and carefully slide the egg into the water; repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still jiggly, about 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, blot the bottoms dry on a kitchen towel and place on the English muffins.
• Slice the steak against the grain and divide among the plates. Spoon the sauce over the eggs.

BAKED EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 10-ounce oven-proof ramekins or custard cups with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
• 2. In a 9-inch skillet, melt margarine. Add spinach and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• 3. Transfer cooked spinach to a medium-size mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
• 4. Spoon half of the spinach mixture into each of the prepared ramekins. Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each portion. Being careful not to break the yolk, break 1 egg into a small dish, and then slide it into the one of the indentations; repeat with remaining egg. Pour 1 teaspoon half-and-half over each egg, then sprinkle each with remaining 1/2 teaspoon parmesan cheese.
• 5. Place ramekins in preheated oven (350°), and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are set. Serve immediately.

EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely before crumbling into small pieces.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Fill a small saucepan with 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the lemon juice. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg in a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Slowly slide the egg into the water. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the water around the egg. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until the white has set and the yolk is still soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
• To serve, place a tomato slice on each salad plate and season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the spinach sauce over the tomato slice. Top with a poached egg and sprinkle with the crumbled prosciutto. Serve warm.
• Cook's Note: The poached eggs can be made ahead of time if stored in water and refrigerated. Reheat by placing in simmering water for 30 seconds.

EASTER WAFFLES FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron on the highest setting. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and vinegar; let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, salt, and pepper. In a second large bowl, mix together egg yolks, sour cream, butter, and milk mixture. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in Gruyere, goat cheese, parsley, chives, and tarragon; do not overmix.
• Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Stir half the egg whites into the batter; gently fold in remaining half.
• Spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1 cup batter into waffle iron (it should be three-quarters full). Close lid and cook until waffle is golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove waffle from iron. Quickly toss between your hands to release steam and help retain crispness. Serve immediately topped with some of the spinach and 1 poached egg, and drizzled with hollandaise. Repeat process with remaining batter.
