Sometimes on the weekend I really, really, really, want an egg with a soft yolk snuggled on top of something yummy and green. But I also want to sit on the front porch, take a walk, go to the market, and play in my art room. This week I figured out how it is possible to have your eggs and eat them too.
Enter baked eggs florentine. I made the recipe below - and only baked one egg in one ramekin. I put 4 other containers of the florentine mixture in individual cups in the freezer and the next time I want a baked egg the majority of the work will be done.
I followed the cooking (and resting) times in the recipe and things turned out blissfully well. This was the perfect puffy, chewy, salty, nutty, savory bed for a baked egg.
If Kansas fell off the map overnight, and sharing this recipe was the last thing I did on earth, I will not have lived in vain.

Baked egg? Well, I never knew of such a thing. I am putting myself on a high protein diet...this might just be one of the things I try out. Thanks!

Lived in vain? Are you kidding? I sometimes think I would not cook or eat at all if I were not tempted by your food posts!
