EGGS FLORENTINE



Eggs Florentine image

A classic Eggs Florentine recipe made with two poached eggs on a toasted english muffin with spinach and hollandaise sauce.

Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
4 English muffins
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
10 cups baby spinach leaves
salt and pepper (, to taste)
4 tablespoons butter
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lime juice
1-2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper (, to taste)

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.

EGGS FLORENTINE DOMES RECIPE BY TASTY



Eggs Florentine Domes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: ham, english muffins, unsalted butter, garlic, spinach, salt, pepper, large eggs, large egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, unsalted butter, fresh chives

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large slices ham, large slices
2 english muffins, halved
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz spinach, uncooked
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place the ham and muffins on a baking sheet. Tip: If your baking sheet is not large enough to hold everything at once, place a wire on top of the pan and arrange the remaining ham and English muffins on top of it.
  • Broil for 2 minutes, until the English muffins are toasted and the ham starts to crisp.
  • Remove the English muffins and ham from the oven. Slice the ham lengthwise, into ⅛-inch (3 mm) wide strips.
  • Cover a small bowl, about 3 inches (7-cm) in diameter, with plastic wrap. Place a ham strip across the middle (the edge of the strip should come slightly over the lip of the bowl). Continue placing ham strips across the bowl, overlapping them in a spiral pattern. Repeat with three more small bowls and the remaining ham strips.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic starts to brown. Add the spinach and stir until wilted to half its original volume, 3-4 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and stir for another minute. Remove from heat.
  • Make the hollandaise sauce: In a blender, combine the eggs yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper. Blend on high for 5 seconds. Reduce the blender speed to low and pour in the melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Blend for 30 more seconds. Cover and keep warm.
  • Fill a deep pan with enough water to cover 4 small, heat-safe bowls. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and use a pair of tongs to place the bowls in the water. Carefully drop an egg into each bowl. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the yolks are cooked to your desired firmness. Using tongs, remove the bowls from the water and drain.
  • Place a poached egg inside each small bowl with the spiralized ham slices and top with spinach. Fold the ham slices over the spinach and place a buttered English muffin half on top. Place a plate over the bowl and invert. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap.
  • Serve with hollandaise sauce and chives.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling at the last minute.
  • Choose ripe spinach: Fresh, vibrant spinach will give your muffins the best flavor. Avoid spinach that is wilted or has yellowed leaves.
  • Wilt the spinach properly: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps it to cook evenly. Be sure to squeeze out as much excess water as possible before adding the spinach to the muffin batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with liners: Liners make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan and help to prevent them from sticking. If you don't have liners, you can grease the muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before topping them with the eggs: This will help to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Serve the muffins warm: Egg-topped muffins are best served warm, when the eggs are still soft and runny.

Conclusion:

Egg-topped muffins Florentine are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these muffins on the table in no time.
