EGGS FLORENTINE WITH ASIAGO CHEESE

Category: Breakfast and Brunch

Eggs Florentine:
6 eggs, perfectly poached
3 English muffins
1/4 cup butter
2 bunches fresh spinach
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Salt and white pepper to taste

Asiago Cheese Sauce:
2 scallions, finely chopped (white parts only)
1/2 cup white wine
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup Asiago cheese
1 cup heavy cream

In a saucepan, combine garlic, scallions, and wine. Reduce sauce over medium-high heat until wine is almost gone. Add the cream and reduce again until the mixture thickens noticeably. Add the Asiago cheese and combine well. Keep sauce in a warm place until needed.

Slice and toast muffins and spread with butter. Wilt spinach in a frying pan with fresh butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with approximately 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. Place spinach atop the buttered muffins. Lay poached eggs on top of the spinach. Cover with the cream sauce. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and nutmeg before serving. Serves 3.
