Eggs Florentine



Another common recipe with a few healthy twists.

Ingredients: whole wheat toast, eggs, spinach, sharp cheddar cheese (any cheese is fine but this one has enough flavor to use less and save on fat)

Directions: If you don't have one of those egg poacher devices, add a dash of white vinegar (this helps the egg keep it shape) to a pot of boiling water. Crack the egg in a bowl. Lower the temp on the water to cool down to not even a simmer. Swirl the water with a spoon, and gently lower the egg in the middle of the whirlpool. Wait 3-4 minutes until cooked how you like them. While the egg is cooking, toast the bread, and cover with fresh spinach. You can cook the spinach if you like before, but raw holds more nutrients and the hot egg will soften it up anyway. Retrieve the egg with a slotted spoon and drop on top of the spinach. Skip a hollandaise sauce and shred some cheese instead.

Power breakfast that will last and leave you feeling great!
