Recipe for the Eggs Florentine
Trivia Did you know, that Eggs Florentine are actually Eggs Benedict with the bacon being substituted by spinach. It was invented by a retired Wall Street stock broker when he wandered in Waldorf Hotel to find a cure for his hangover in 1894. He ordered buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a bowl of hollandaise sauce. The matre d’hotel was so impressed by this that he put it in the menu of the hotel, by substituting ham for bacon and English muffin for toast. |
