Morning,

I've just cooked Eggs Florentine for the first time, never eaten it before either, and I want to know how it should look when you cut into it?
The Eggs were cooked through and the Spinach was lovely as was the Cheese sauce on the top, however underneath there seemed to be an awful lot of liquid, is this right?
The Spinach was part cooked before hand (as per the recipe) and was well drained, the sauce was nice and thick but still smooth and pourable.

Thanks.

Probably was the spinich - did you par-boil it? I find it's better just to stir fry it with a little butter until it's just cooked through, before cracking the eggs on it then the sauce.

Actually that sounds like a plan for lunch now you've mentioned it.........thumbup
