Method
Florentine Benedict
- 1
Prepare the Spinach and Ham
In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. In the same skillet, lightly warm the deli ham slices until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Poach the Eggs
Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional). Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
