Something simple. Something delicious. That's when the idea for these Florentine Eggs hit me. It's a recipe that's both elegant and surprisingly easy to make, and I'm so excited to share it with you today!

Why a side of water? Because let me tell you, the coolness of water perfectly balances the richness of these eggs. Trust me. It's a culinary revelation! Oh, and the crusty bread? Essential for sopping up every last drop of that luscious egg-y goodness. But first, let's get started on this wonderfully easy dish!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, gather your ingredients! You'll need 4 large eggs (preferably fresh, from happy chickens!), a tablespoon of butter, salt, and pepper to taste, and a splash of milk or cream(Optional!). And don't forget the water and your favorite bread for dipping!
- Next, crack those eggs into your small bowl. Give them a good whisk, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. If you're feeling fancy (or creamy), whisk in that splash of milk or cream.
- Now, melt the butter in your large skillet over medium-low heat. You want a gentle melt, not a butter inferno! Make sure the pan is nice and hot before adding your eggy goodness.
- Gently pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing them to set slightly around the edges. Resist the urge to immediately stir, okay?
- Once the edges are set, begin gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center with your spatula, creating space for the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. I find this adds a touch of perfection!
- Finally, slide those beautiful Florentine Eggs onto a plate and serve immediately with a side of crusty bread and a tall glass of water. Seriously, that water is a game changer. It cleanses the palette for the richness of the eggs. Perfection, I tell ya!
- There you have it! Simple, elegant, and utterly delicious Florentine Eggs with a side of water. What's not to love?
📝 Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of herbs like chives or parsley just before serving.
- If your eggs seem a little too dry, add a splash of water while cooking. And adjust the heat as needed.
