Florentine Benedict

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the potatoes into small cubes and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    In a pot of simmering water, crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Spinach

    In the same skillet used for bacon, add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Benedict

    Toast the English muffins. Place the bottom half of each muffin on a plate, top with sautéed spinach, crispy bacon, a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Add a slice of tomato on the side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Florentine Benedict with a side of roasted potatoes.
