Drain canned spinach well. Press into greased large muffin tins, or other ovenproof containers that will be the right size to hold one egg in the spinach "nest". The nest should be a thin layer of spinach on bottom and sides of cup.

My ingredients are approximate. Depending on how much canned spinach you have or how many servings you want to make, the rule is just one egg per "nest".

Break an egg into nest and season with salt and pepper to taste. Push any spinach that is too high back down to egg level. Put in larger pan with water up to about 1/2 the height of the muffin pan.

Cook in water bath in 350 degree oven until eggs are set.

When done, invert each Egg Florentine on serving plate and cover with Hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or paprika over the sauce and serve.


Very nice looking dish and easy to make for group brunch. They're made in a muffin pan and then inverted onto plate for serving. A packaged or already-made homemade Hollandaise sauce is required.
