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.

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 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!

    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.

  38. Andrea M
    December 17, 2011

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    How long, in what type of pan and at what temp. do you bake bacon?

    1. December 18, 2011

      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.

No point telling you to enjoy it, I can already tell you will! happy Christmas Carol x

  197. December 18, 2011

    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.)

    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!

    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 getting to see all my family that I haven’t over the year. My mom has a huge family & every 5 years we ALL get together; it’s over 100 people and it’s so wonderful to catch up with all the family that lives far away! : )

    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.
