How to Make Brunch Egg Dish Florentine

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, onion, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir the sautéed mushrooms into the spinach mixture.
Divide the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly among the 8 ramekins, filling them about halfway.
Create a well in the center of each ramekin.
Carefully crack one egg into each well.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Do not overcook!
While the eggs bake, prepare the white sauce and hollandaise sauce (see recipes below).
In a small saucepan, heat the white sauce gently.
Whisk together the warmed white sauce and hollandaise sauce.
Pour the sauce evenly over the baked ramekins (about 2 tablespoons per ramekin).
Place the ramekins under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is lightly browned and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
**White Sauce:**
Heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate skillet.
Remove from heat and whisk in 4 tablespoons of flour until smooth.
Gradually whisk the flour-butter mixture into the hot milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
**Hollandaise Sauce:**
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), whisk together 4 egg yolks and lemon juice.
Whisk in the 8 ounces of melted butter, 2 ounces at a time, whisking constantly until emulsified and thickened.
Once the sauce is thickened, remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper to taste.
