EGG FLORENTINE

Well its Sunday and I was thinking what special should I eat today. Guess what popped in my head........yes its EGGS.. Now that am thinking I realize I have been eating eggs every weekend....... hehehe :D  Well as for the story behind this recipe,I had already told that my fav restaurant is "The Egg Factory" they had a recipe called Egg Florentine.....frankly I didnt like their version but it gave me an idea for my version for of this recipe :) . Then I was watching disney channel and saw Wizards of Waverly Place and they were showing an episode where they had brunch for dinner and the father had made it. I somehow liked the idea but my dad is not here :(  so I had to make the dish for myself.... I have also added the recipe to Lets Do Brunch hosted by Chaya.
