Potatoes Florentine
"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: One of my favorite meals of the day is breakfast and the first thing that pops into my mind when I think about it is eggs. In this dish, the perfectly poached egg makes a scrumptious, velvety sauce that pours down over the spinach and potatoes leaving you wanting more. I made this for my family and they loved it. I hope you enjoy it too!"
