Egg Florentine

Description

This is a ‘Love me’ or ‘hate me’ dish I’ll assure you! However very simple and tasty to eat, with only 5 ingredients to make.  I always season with cracked black pepper and occasionally salt to taste, you can also add a sprinkle of chilli powder or for a herby taste, oregano or basil. You can have this as a lunch or dinner dish, to fill it out you could add a part-bake roll to dip.
