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.

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!

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and is less likely to be bitter than frozen spinach.
- Wilt the spinach properly. Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to concentrate its flavor.
- Use a good quality hollandaise sauce. A good hollandaise sauce is essential for this recipe. You can make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately. Egg Florentine breakfast sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made. The hollandaise sauce will start to separate if it sits for too long.

Egg Florentine breakfast sandwiches are a delicious and elegant way to start your day. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weekend brunch. With a little planning, you can easily make these sandwiches ahead of time and reheat them in the morning. Note: This recipe is for four sandwiches.
