Eggs Florentine with Savory Waffles and Herbed Hollandaise

In this delicious twist on eggs Florentine, we swap in savory waffles for the traditional English muffins. Fresh parsley lends color and flavor to the hollandaise sauce, which is quick to make using an immersion blender. Serve crispy hash browns alongside (see related recipe at left).
