Nope. Spinach in the eggs. I season the eggs with salt and pepper, add a
little water and some hot sauce, the quantity varying with the heat of
the sauce, then beat them. I chop up the spinach while the pan is
heating up with some butter in it. I toss the spinach in and let it go
for about 15 seconds and then add the eggs, cooking them only until they
are still wet.

I tried eggs Florentine at a second rate breakfast joint a couple
years ago but was disappointed because the "Hollandaise" was a cheap
imitation of the real thing. It was more of a thickened chicken stock
with very very finely chopped spinach. I tried it recently at some of
the better breakfast and lunch places where they used real Hollandaise
and wilted spinach. I have a new favourite breakfast dish.
