Picture for Eggs Florentine inspired by Frasier

3,714,231 views  This week, we return once again to the hallowed halls of the fancy foods of Frasier. Instead of the brothers Crane, however, we turn to Lilith Sternin for inspiration as we recreate her postcoital breakfast of choice, eggs florentine - even if it's slathered in ketchup and devoured in the bathroom.

Warm a skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add some oil, and then add your english muffins, 3 at a time making sure they stay as close to the center as possible. Give them a good spritz with water so they can rise a little more. Cook for about 3 minutes and then check every minute for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown on one side and then flip. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 205-210°F. Place on a wire rack to cool and set aside.
