I’m always on the look out for ways to incorporate vegetables into our breakfast. This Eggs Florentine recipe uses frozen spinach, which helps it to come together quickly. Rather than serving the eggs on an English muffin they are baked in a ramekin and the orange sauce replaces the usual hollandaise sauce. Final result is delicious and has fewer calories!
Eggs Florentine – the Quick and Easy Version
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp cornstarch
½ Tbsp butter
2 scallions, sliced
1 (10oz pkg) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 large eggs
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Whisk together the orange juice and cornstarch in a bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook until tender, then add the orange juice mixture and continue to cook until the sauce is thickened and clear, about 6-7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
In a bowl combine the spinach, coriander, salt and pepper and ½ cup of the orange juice mixture. Mix well and then place 3 Tbsp of the mixture into each of four ramekins. Using a spoon create a well in the center of each. Break an egg into each well. 
Put the ramekins on a baking dish and bake until the eggs are set, about 15-20 minutes.
Spoon about 2 Tbsp of the remaining sauce over each cooked egg and serve.
This is a delicious meal for breakfast or for dinner!

Oh, my; I gotta have my eggs scrambled. It’s the only way I’ll eat eggs unless I make a fried egg sandwich and then it has to a hard fried egg; little crispy around the edges
