Eggs Florentine Plus image

Categories     Egg     Mushroom     turkey     Brunch     Bake     Spinach     Healthy     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
1 10-ounce package ready-cut fresh spinach, stems trimmed
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons whipping cream
12 ounces smoked turkey breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Toasted country-style bread

Steps:

  • Rinse porcini under running water; place in bowl. Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Pour over porcini. Let stand until soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 3 minutes. Arrange spinach in bottom of 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour, stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in mushrooms with their soaking liquid and cream. Boil until sauce thickens, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Mix in turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Crack eggs open over spinach, spacing evenly. Spoon turkey mixture around eggs, leaving yolks exposed. Sprinkle Parmesan over. Bake until eggs are just set, about 15 minutes. Serve with toasted bread.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the turkey breast cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached a safe 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the turkey breast for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the juices run clear.
  • Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in the filling. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce instead of making your own.
  • To make the dish even more decadent, top it with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese before baking.

Conclusion:

Turkey breast Florentine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The combination of tender turkey, creamy Alfredo sauce, and fresh spinach is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning ahead, you can have this dish on the table in about an hour.
