Easy Elegant Eggs Florentine

This breakfast recipe comes from the Brigadoon Bed & Breakfast in Michigan. It was rated in 2004 as one of the best recipes among Country Inns & Bed & Breakfasts. With the exception of the reduction of some cheese to be healthier, I have made it eactly as was published by them back in 2004.
