In our family we celebrate Christmas. It is like a nearly month-long preamble of mini traditions and events which culminates in the big event – Christmas morning.
It starts with decorating, gift making and buying, cookie baking and decorating, present wrapping, a dessert party, Christmas Eve soup dinner and then – ta da – Christmas morning!
It all begins before the sun is up with the stockings. Santa always packs our stocking full of silly, fun and sometimes useful things that make us smile. Always, always, always, he puts a fresh orange in the toe of the stocking. And he doesn’t neglect the adults in our house, everyone gets a stocking and everyone gets an orange – we collect them up and make fresh orange juice.
Then it is on to presents. The adults grab a cup of coffee or tea, we nibble on a holiday quick bread I have made the night before and the youngest (if they can walk and talk) passes out a gift to each person. We unwrap gifts slowly, oohing and ahhing over each other’s presents and each person takes their time to really look over what they got. I love this about my family! Each and every person seems to really appreciate every gift – there is no unwrap and on to the next one in our house. Unwrapping the gifts takes HOURS! And then it is time to eat.
I love Christmas breakfast the most! We are all still in our jammies, the kids absorbed with their new toys, the parents helping put in batteries or place stickers and I sneak off the make something nutritious to counteract the sugar-packed items Santa and others always inevitably seem to leave us.
Since I don’t like to sneak off for too long I cook bacon in the oven (no babysitting and it comes out perfectly), squeeze the juice, and make an egg dish that is both fancy and simple. I cut up fruit, slice up cheeses and salamis and we take a break from the day’s activities to eat on pretty china at the dining table (which of course was set the night before).
This year the star of the show is Gluten Free Baked Eggs Florentine, packed with spinach, fresh eggs and a quick hollandaise sauce it is spectacular and could not be easier! For the best results I use pastured eggs from Nature’s Yolk – trust me, they make a difference!
Make sure to continue reading after the recipe to see what today’s prizes are and to see how to enter.
Gluten Free Baked Eggs Florentine Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard - (or ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- dash hot sauce such as Tabasco
- ½ cup unsalted butter or dairy free butter substitute - melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion - finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- 4 (6 ounce) bags baby spinach
- 8 large pastured eggs
- Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare the blender hollandaise - place the egg yolks in a blender along with the mustard, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the hot sauce, blend for 5 seconds or until fully combined. With the blender running, remove the plastic insert from the lid of the blender and slowly add the hot, melted butter. Continue to blend until all the butter is incorporated. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Turn the heat up to high and add the 1 bag of the spinach and cook until wilted tossing with tongs. Add the remaining spinach, one bag at a time until each addition is wilted.
- Add 1/3 cup of the blender hollandaise and stir well to combine. With the back of a spoon, make 8 indentations in the spinach. Break the eggs into the indentations; (the eggs will spread and run into each other) sprinkle each egg with a little salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny, 6 – 8 minutes. Spoon the remaining hollandaise over each egg, sprinkle with some paprika and serve.

I love all the family time and all the amazing food!!!!
What I like about the holidays….It’s the Food! And the family. And the Food!!
Think I’ll go with GF Loukoumathes for Christmas morning and see if anyone of my non-GF family members figure it out!!
Yum. I’ve never had eggs florentine before. Hm…what I love about the holidays – time with friends and family.
I love the fact that my husband helps me decorate the 200 plus sugar cookie cut outs that I gift out.
I also love the fact that my teenage duaghter has come back around and is decorating the tree with us!
facebook share done!
Great recipe Carol-my favorate thing about the holidays is the music : )

I love the looks on my children’s faces as they open the gifts they asked for and the surprises they didn’t expect. The familiar carols and routines and the family gathering together.
I love celebrating CHRISTmas…celebrating the birth of my Saviour with my family. Christmas time is so wonderful, and now celebrating it with my husband and 4 littles it is sooooo much more special

On of my favorite things about the holidays is watching the school Christmas pageant. The littlest kids are adorable.

This recipe looks really good! I love spinach and eggs, usually in a quiche but I’ll have to give this one a try! I love days off during the holidays because we can have a brunch instead of eating breakfast and leaving for work.
Shared on my facebook page (creative cooking gluten free)
I love spending time w/ all of my family and cooking with my dad. I also love how excited my kids get to see family & open gifts.
It sounds like you have some lovely traditions in your family. I love the food and the faces of my loved ones as they open up their gifts! This dish looks wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Great way to incorporate more veggies into the breakfast. I can not wait to try it.
I love the time I get to spend with my family. Christmas Eve has always been spent with my mom’s side of the family and Christmas Day has always been my dads. This year was a rough year for my family, both of my dad’s parents passed away exactly six months from each other and he and my step mom are getting divorced, so this year Bryan and I will be spending both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my Dad at his new house helping him get all set up and making it his own. Lots of delicious food will be made and enjoyed!
My son is a kindergartener my new favorite thing is listening to him at night singing his Xmas carol he has learned in school
The Christmas lights and Christmas music.
I love spending time with my family and baking.

I love that my family is all together with the peace of the season is around us.
I love having an excuse to bake until every surface in my house is covered in goodies and then handing them out to everyone I may or may not know who comes to my door.
To me the holidays are about the family being together, laughing about old memories and making new ones.
What I love most about the holidays is getting together with family and friends, and of course all the yummy food!
What I love most about the holidays is,being able to spend time with my entire family celebrating something so important for us. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I love the time to reflect on the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love the time spent with family and the food, which finally I feel like I can eat almost normally again thank’s to the gluten free foods available today. My daughter treated me to a box of Better Batter All Purpose flour so I can make my Yorkshire Puddings for Christmas Dinner and actually get to eat some :). I had put that Gluten Free on a Shoestring on my to buy list when I can afford it, and here you are giving it away.
I LOVE that this is the celebration of God with us – Immanuel…if this birth leads up to Easter which is the event that validates all that Jesus did on earth and making communion with God and an intimate relationship with God possible. I love celebrating that over the holidays!!
shared on facebook
I love the opportunity to make and give gifts to friends and family.
My favorite thing about the Holidays is being able to take time out of life and spend it with your family!
I shared this post on Facebook.
What I enjoy most about the holidays is experiencing them through the eyes of my son. He is four now, and each year he has understood and enjoyed this season a little more. Everything is so new, so exciting, so much fun…the Christmas lights, the sugar cookies, the tree, the stockings, the family gatherings. We make a birthday cake on Christmas day to help him to understand that we’re celebrating Jesus’ birthday, and he loves doing that.
I love the lights and holiday smells and sharing precious time together.
Retweeted the giveaway.
What a nice description of your holiday traditions. Thank you for sharing. The breakfast looks delicious too! One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is refocusing on Advent – the preparing of my heart for all things related to Christ, especially His past and future comings.
I love that Christmas provides an excuse to reconnect with friends and family.
I love getting time off work to spend with my family.

I love that I feel I can relax and take a break in homeschooling for awhile. I love sharing w/my kids the real reason for the season. I love snuggling on the couch reading different Christmas stories each night and watching Christmas specials on tv w/them. I love planning special crafts and activities for us to do together.
I love seeing my mom and not having to worry about what the number on the register at the grocery store.
Christmas has always been family time. It is crazy busy leading up to Christmas, then we stop and enjoy the family. Laughing and sharing, playing and eating.
I love the food that we only make during the holidays.

Christmas is the one time each year my whole immediate family is always together. Our celebration is simple – it’s really about spending time together – and it’s my favorite day of the year.

Those eggs look incredible… reminds me of Eggs Benedict, which I have been missing so much! I will definitely try this recipe.
What I love most about the holidays is the joy and warmth of gathering with family, eating good food, seeing the wonder in the eyes of the little ones, and sharing love and laughter. :)
Family time is so important over the holidays…that takes priority! Eating my gluten free frosted sugar cookies is also a treat-only make them at Christmas-they’re dangerous! ;)
My favorite thing about the holidays is getting to do a lot of baking!
Your Christmas morning sounds a lot like ours, only we make waffles for breakfast. I make gluten free/dairy free for myself & my husband makes regular for the rest of the family. Our waffles are made from scratch with orange peel and diced bacon. Yummy!! I use your flour and coconut milk and they are delicious!!
What I love about the holidays is the desserts!
Carol, I love all of your fun traditions. Your Christmas morning sounds a lot like ours. It is my favorite morning of the entire year. And your baked eggs florentines sounds like such a fun and simple way to fill up! xoxo
this a stunning breakfast! If it wasn’t for my little one’s egg allergy, we would so be doing this! Hopefully by next year she has outgrown it.
I love all of the giving this time of season.
Family is hands down the best part of the holidays!
I LOVE that the holidays mean I get to spend time with my family! I wish I could go back home this year, but at least I still get my sister!
I love getting to spend time with my closest friends and family. And, of course, Christmas cookies!
What I love about the holidays is when family is together! My husband is Active Duty military and isn’t always home for the holidays! So anytime he is, that is what it means to me! :) This recipe looks AMAZING! I must try it! thank you for posting!

I love the warmth of family and friends as we enjoy the brightness of the holidays together.
One thing I love about the holidays is the smells: the Christmas tree, peppermint, and holiday baking. All of them make me think of a warm and happy moment when family can be together and think about how lucky we are to have each other. I’m glad to have resources like this one to help me bring some of my comfort and holiday foods back into my life.
I inevitably will decide to do a crafty homemade something to give to friends and family. This year’s included fabric, stuffing, and sewing machine. They’re really cute! :) Between that and baking, you know where to find me! :)
I love the excitement on my boy’s faces when they see everything under the tree. Presents do not go out in our house until after everyone is in bed.

my favorite things about the holidays are great food, time off from work, time with family and friends…

Ooh..I love waking up on Christmas morning and having the butterflies in my stomach knowing that a happy day is starting! I also love our Christmas breakfast- cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, bacon, and juice of course. Yumm!!
I posted this on facebook!
Love most about Christmas… the awe and wonder of Jesus birth and considering what it was really like, just can’t fathom that.
The holidays are all about seeing my family, cooking, baking and sharing the love that we have for eachother. What a blessing it is when we can celebrate this time of year but also every other day too!!!
I love that my newly adult daughter came to decorate my Christmas tree with my husband, and I love looking at it and seeing our family’s history in the ornaments.
I posted on facebook also….can’t wait to try this recipe. I don’t know if I can wait until Christmas :)
The best thing about the holidays is spending time with family along with baking and decorating cookies together.
This is a great healthy idea. I love this season with everything it brings! I especially love the colors! My favorite color is red, so everything looks particularly pretty this time of year. I also really like thinking about someone and deciding what that person would really like and doing everything possible to obtain the item for that person. But most of all, I love remembering the birth of my Savior at this time of year. I love singing about how He came to earth in the most disgusting of ways, when He deserved the best. How he lived and understood everything that we went through. I love reflecting on Christ in this season. That is the best part about it.
I shared this on Facebook!
I love how the holidays bring people together. The parties and letters in Christmas cards all allow us to catch up :)
I love celebrating Advent…the devotions, candles…and traditions with my children…all of our ‘ethnic’ food we love so much! Thanks for the wonderful recipes and awesome giveaways!
this year I won’t be home with my family, but I volunteered at an orphanage instead. The kids were warm and affectionate and having a Christmas party was truly meaningful for them. I like Christmas for the simple joys it reminds us of.
OK, that is awesome!
My favorite things about the holidays are family, family and family. Getting together, laughing, eating, playing. I’m new to this blog and am enjoying it. Eggs Florentine tomorrow. I’ve posted to both FB and Twitter under Pepi Noble. Thanks.
FAMILY! That’s what holidays mean to me!
I love the excitement of doing so many special things together!
My favorite thing about the holidays is watching children opening their gifts.
The best thing about the holidays is being with family and making memories.
What I love about the holidays – I like all the lights and the Christ centered Christmas music.
My favorite thing about the holidays is the way that they feel. Call me crazy, but I can almost smell Christmas! This season has such a distinct essence to it…like magic. :)

I would be interested in knowing how you do your baked bacon. The favorite part of Christmas for me is having every member of our blended family together in our home at the same time. We are one more this year because my daughter got married in October.
I love spending time with family over the holidays.
I love having all my family around and just spending quality time together.
I love the spirit of giving! Particularly, giving of home-made or baked gifts to friends and family :)
I love visiting my family and baking/eating delicious Christmas cookies! I also do a lot of crocheting, so I love making/giving people gifts!
What I love most about the holidays is the trip home and spending time with family. It’s the one time a year that we get to see everyone. We are the only ones from the family to move out of state, and we moved across the country at that! At Christmas we sit back and soak in every minute spent with our loved ones!
Family and good friends = the best part about the holidays.
wow, this looks delicious! I love family time most!!!!!! Playing games and eating are great too :)

How long, in what type of pan and at what temp. do you bake bacon?
I place a wire cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet and bake it for 10 – 12 minutes at 400 degrees. You can just lay the bacon directly on a baking sheet and not use the rack but I like that lots of the fat drips away.
I am not going to wait for Christmas to try the baked eggs florentine recipe!
I love just enjoying our celebrations with the family. I also love christmas music!

I love making Gingerbread houses with my boyfriend! :) We make them with S’morables and gluten free frosting and candy! YUM!
Such a great recipe, Carol, and super cool presentation! I want my own cast iron skillet with Baked Eggs Florentine! Eggs with Hollandaise sauce and spinach, plus bacon … yes, please! I can only imagine how lovely Christmas is at your house, Carol. Thank you so much for sharing all with us and, of course, for participating in our Home for the Holidays … Gluten-Free Styleevent! :-)

Our Christmas morning tradition is Mimosas in our jammies! Can’t go wrong with Mimosas! Then our Christmas Day meal is always fondue. Everyone takes part and it is a fun family dinner.
My favorite part of the holiday is the time off that the whole family has together~ board games, movies and good easy food. It’s a great time to reconnect as a family and disconnect from our busy lives.
For me Christmas is all about spending time with family and creating new memories.
Thank you for the wonderful recipe! My favorite part of the holidays, along with the focus on family activities, and re-charging and re-focusing my faith.
I love my children! December is our favorite month! Our family celebrates Christmas and Chanukah. We also have two children with birthdays. One on December 25th and another on December 26th! Lots of celebrating going on at our house!
What I love about the Holidays, is all the baking, the hustle and bustle in anticipation of family and friends reuniting in celebration of the birth of Christ.
I love the look of a lit tree when I come down the stairs in the dark of the morning. So peaceful!
Christmas is about celebrating Jesus’s birth. I love going to Christmas eve or Christmas service and doing just that.
Just posted about the give a way on Facebook.
I just posted about the give a way on Twitter.
I love the smells of the holidays…bread and cookies baking, pine and spruce trees, and crisp snowy days!
I see you have dry mustard in this recipe. I thought that dry mustard was not gluten free.

I love this time of year because everyone MAKES the time within their busy lives to spend time together, and I love cooking for eveyone :)
Merry Christmas Carol, and all her followers.
I love all the pumpkin desserts and eggnog lattes available during the holidays. Thank you for this giveaway. :-)

I love the family being together and watching our small grandchildren open presents. Theres nothing better than the smiles and excitement that each child brings to our life. And of course the wonderful meal that we all share and the thanks that each person shares as we pray together.
The Baked Eggs Florentine looks yummy. I think that recipe will become a family favorite.

I love just “being” with family – what else do you really need (besides yummy food – of course)
I love having the opportunity to spend good quality time with family and friends, surrounded by food you only get at this time of year!
I already have the 2 cookbooks so I hope I win the app.
I love Christmas baking and giving. This blog is great because this is my first year GF and its been hard learning curve. Home for The Holidays has been so helpful!
Great giveaway! And I love the recipe. My family always gets together at my mom’s for a big breakfast on Christmas morning. This might be fun to try!

My favorite part is seeing my family and eating great food. This is my first gluten free Christmas and I have been a little worried, but I am delighted to have just found my Christmas Breakfast. :)
This is the time of the year to meet all friends that do not regularly attend church. To the Birth of Jesus is the best time of the year. I love to go to church all the time but this season is more important. I love you recipes ( Gluten Free). My Husband has Celiac Disease and I love to be able to cook for him. Your recipes have helped me do this and will continue to do so.
I will shARE ON fACEBOOK
I love the individual pans that you have here. Not sure my limited time will even stretch to this on Xmas morning, and unfortunately I’m probably the only one who would LOVE this dish. I might pre- make gluten-free pancakes or try a recipe I caught on pinterest (which I am loving for inspiration these days) for lining muffin tin with gf bread, bake egg & top with bacon…I can imagine your house is truly lovely at Christmas. No point telling you to enjoy it, I can already tell you will! happy Christmas Carol x
This looks fabulous! I need to work out how to have a couple of the eggs completely set (husband likes them cooked through). During the holidays, I love how there is a sense of warmth and love that seems to be everywhere. People want to be kind. (Now we have to figure out how to make it 365 days.)
Definitely the decorations giving a cozy feeling to the house and seeing lots of old friends and family are my favorite things about the holidays.
My favorite thing about the holidays is the music. The choir I sing with does a Christmas concert every year and it always gets me in the spirit of the holidays.
As much as I love to bake, it’s nice to see a non-baked item in the lineup. I love getting together with friends over the holidays.
Being a GF missionary in Guatemala can sometimes be a challenge but…we love combining the cultures and celebrating with new friends! May you enjoy the blessings of God this season!
What I love best about Christmas is seeing the awe in my Godchildren and Grandchildren’s eyes!
I love all of the little traditions too, ours sound very similar to yours from stockings to slow, one at a time gift opening.

I love seeing all the homes decorated during this time of year. And some of the foods and treats that seem to only come out this time of year.
Looks delicious! My favorite things about the holiday are the warm feelings of giving and good cheer, and the visiting with friends and family. I used to feel kind of weird about being sentimental around the holidays, but then realized I just had way too many cynical friends!

comfy xmas morning in our pj’s , opening stockings, watching happy excited little faces light up and a delicious eggs benny xmas brunch.
Well, we just had a group of friends over for sandwiches and tea after church! It was a wonderful impromptu hosting, and I loved having a houseful of laughter and cheer!
I love spending time with my family and creating all the gifts and goodies for family and friends. This dish looks so good!

I love the time from Thanksgiving on to New Years Day starting with pulling out the decorations and reminiscing over who gave me my favorite ornaments, shopping for the perfect gifts, making delicious desserts and most importantly spending time with my family. We are celebrating with my grandson for the first time and I’m looking forward to watching him open his presents that morning.
I love the family getting together and the holiday food.
What I love about the holidays . . . . . spending time with family, giving gifts, wonderful food, playing games, candlelight Christmas Eve service, caroling, singing Christmas songs, and most of all, celebrating the birth of Jesus!

I love all the new gluten free recipes I have to choose from this Home for the Holidays Event. I will continue throughout the year to bake many of these wonderful recipes.

What I love about the holidays is going to church on Christmas Eve and spending time with 4 generations of family!
What I love about the holidays is that it’s the only time we can justify making a fire in the desert! Thanks for the awesome recipe :)

Oh my — these baked eggs florentine look and sound wonderful! I love to hear children singing Christmas carols during the holidays. Such sweet sounds and some interesting renditions of old favourites!
I love being with family!
Oh wow, so happy to have found your blog! I will be coming back regularly :) This looks so good I can’t wait to try it. I love the excitement of my kids at Christmas. It like being a kid again just watching them.
What I love most about the holidays is that hubby is home from work. The break from classes is also pretty nice, even if it usually meant finals right beforehand.
My favorite holidays have actually been those (recently) spent with friends, forming new holiday traditions, laughing and just enjoying each others’ company. Usually good food is involved as well. :)
Sharing is caring, shared on fb. :)
I love focusing on Jesus in creative ways!!
Reading about your Christmas put a smile on my face. Fabulous. :o)

I love watching my children’s eyes light up when they see the Christmas decorations and as they listen to Christmas stories and books (especially the story of baby Jesus).
My family has been so supportive of the new Gluten Free lifestyle that I have had to adopt and are always looking for treats or adaptations of recipes to make sure I am included in the holidays. For that I love them doubly!
I love spending time with family and reminiscing about the year and previous holidays

I love the fact I can get a gluten free ham at Costco!!
This recipe looks fabulous, but especially the individual pans. I thought, deeply, about buying miniature cast iron pans I saw this weekend…. now I wish I had. I started making eggs florentine with my first CSA. They gave us tons of “beet thinnings,” which were baby beet greens with teensy beetroots at the bottom. With a bit of spinach added, I made florentine weekly!
We celebrate Hanukkah, and I love the latke parties!
I love driving around to check out all the christmas lights and decorations. :D
Just liked you on Facebook, would love the “shoestring” giveaway, been following Nicole’s site and enjoy it a lot, and yours as well ;-)
The smell of goodies baking in the oven!
MMMM…I just bought a large tub of spinach and was trying to find a good recipe to use it up with. I’m going to have to try this one for sure! My favorite thing about the holidays is my husband having extra time off from work to spend with me and the boys. :^)
I love watching the wonder in my kids eyes…what a beautiful thing…believing!

Watching my kids get excited about putting up the tree and opening presents.
My favorite part of the holidays is knowing the depth and breath of God’s love for us. And how he showed that love in becoming one of his very own creation. It’s something that is very humbling and uplifting at the same time.

What I love about the holidays is that we always make lots of cookies, eat meats and cheeses that we display nicely on Christmas eve, and then have fresh Kielbasa for christmas. We have a nice presentation even it is always just me, Hubbs and GF daughter. Thanks, Dee

I LOVE enjoying fresh baked goodies with family without a care in the world during the holidays!
I shared this giveaway and blog on Facebook.
Home for the holidays means, family and food, old favorites and new favorites. For me that means GF treats the whole family can fall in love with. Thanks to all the brave, inventive, and brilliant individuals who make that possible. This recipe looks wonderful, I’ll have to try it out, since I just found your site. Blessings.

family and food that you don’t normally eat throughout the year is my favorite part of the holiday!
What I love most about the holidays is the weather! It gets all lovely and cool, and the air smells wonderful. There’s really nothing like it.
My favorite thing about the Holidays is how my daughter’s (3 years old) face lights up every time she learns something new about the magic of Christmas!
I love how our family always gets together for he holidays. Everyone always seems busy throughout the year, but we always make time during the holidays.
