Egg Florentine on Croissant

It is true that I didn't make this 'Egg Florentine' from scratch.  I just cooked and assembled the ingredients that I bought from the supermarket.  Should I feel guilty about that?  No, I shouldn't. How many people would be making their own bacon, ham or sausages for their breakfast?  I mean from scratch.  Even most of the restaurants don't make them.  Anyway, I had a delicious breakfast this morning.  Everything was so well done.  The poached egg turned out the way I wanted.

I hope you enjoy the recipe.

This recipe is for one serving.

Ingredients:

1 croissant

1 egg

1 cup fresh spinach

1 slice prosciutto (ham would be fine)

1 package of Hollandaise sauce mix

1. Place fresh spinach in a microwavable bowl.
2. Add two tablespoons of water to the bowl.  
3. Cover and microwave for 30 seconds.
