Eggs Florentine

This recipe came from the BBC’s web site and is by James Tanner.

It isn’t that good for cholesterol, but it’s quick and easy.

This is what you’ll need for one.

• 25g/1oz butter
• 75g/2¾oz spinach
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 free-range eggs
• 100ml/3½fl oz double cream – I use St. Helen’s Farm Goats cream

And this is the method that I use.

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. I use the bottom of the top over in the AGA.
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for three minutes, or until wilted.
3. Place the spinach into a small ovenproof dish and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Crack the eggs into the dish and pour over the cream, then place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
5. Serve in the ovenproof dish.

It’s good and fills a hole!
