No, I don’t kid! Fifteen minute brunch!<\/span><\/p>\n

I woke up late on our Saturday (which is really Friday), the only day we get to sleep in. I was daydreaming of breakfast, but not my usual oatmeal concoction. And when I think of slow-made breakfasts, it means belgian waffles with a warm fruit compote, omelets, crispy bacon. All of that stuff takes a while, and I was hungry. I like to indulge with a semi-quick recipe but that is healthy enough to not feel guilty afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here’s what we had.<\/span>
<\/span>
Eggs Florentine<\/span><\/span>
I have loved Eggs Benedict for as long as I can remember, but ham has never been my favorite. One day, when I was about 10, my parents and I went to brunch at Le Peep (one in Houston) and I saw “Eggs Florentine” on the menu. Eggs, bacon, spinach, english muffin…oh my, four of my favorite things! I have to try it, no, I had to have it. Trying would mean I might not like it, I was SURE I would love this one. And I did! Now, 17 years later, I am taking my first shot at making it at home. **Note, I subbed the Mornay sauce with a sprinkling of cheese…who needs the added calories?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Eggs Florentino in 15 Minutes<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
serves 2, but can easily be doubled<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6 slices bacon <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>4 free range eggs <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
2 English muffins, halved and toasted<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
2 teaspoons margarine <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
handful fresh spinach<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
shredded cheese (optional)<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
salt & pepper<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
other seasoning for egg (i used 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary)<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
1. Turn skillet on for eggs. Cook bacon to crispiness (I prefer microwave or oven).\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
2. While bacon is cooking, drop eggs in heated skillet (use poacher cup if you like). Heat on medium. Meanwhile, chop fruit or side item for breakfast.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
3. Season eggs as you wish. To plate, put 2 muffin halves on each plate and spread margarine on warm halves. Layer spinach leaves on each half (4 leaves or so each). Sprinkle cheese if you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
4. Once bacon is cooked, tear in half and lay in “X” fashion on top of spinach. Place egg on top of each bacon X.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
5. Eat and enjoy with a big glass of orange juice.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
