Whisk Wednesday -- Oeufs Mollets Florentine

This week for Whisk Wednesdays we made Oeufs Mollets Florentine or Eggs Forentine. I love brunch and so served this on Sunday during the Chicago Bears football game and it was perfect and very, VERY good!!! I made some English Muffins the night before and as usual the English Muffins were delicious and perfect side with the eggs.
