Categories     main-dish

Time 53m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 thin slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups (5 ounces) baby spinach
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 beefsteak tomatoes, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick slices

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.

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 large eggs

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.

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.

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.
