Baked Eggs Florentine is a delicious and nutritious breakfast dish featuring baked eggs topped with sautéed spinach and creamy hollandaise sauce. Perfect for brunch or a quick morning meal, this easy recipe combines fresh ingredients with simple preparation for a satisfying start to your day.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 English muffins or sliced bread
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Wash and chop the fresh spinach. Sauté the spinach in olive oil until wilted, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Toast the English muffins or bread slices until golden.
  4. Place the toasted bread in the prepared baking dish. Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over each slice.
  5. Create small indentations in the spinach layer and carefully crack an egg into each. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon hollandaise sauce generously over each egg and spinach layer.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny. Adjust baking time for desired yolk consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with herbs or additional hollandaise if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best runny yolks and tender whites.
  • Ensure even distribution of spinach to prevent dryness or uneven cooking.
  • Homemade hollandaise enhances flavor; consider making your own for an elevated taste.
