BAKED EGGS ON CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter two 1/3- to 1/2-cup ramekins.
• Discard coarse stems from spinach. In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water cook spinach 2 minutes and drain in a sieve, pressing with back of a large spoon to remove as much water as possible. Finely chop spinach.
• In a small nonstick skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in spinach, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until hot.
• Divide creamed spinach between ramekins and break an egg into each. On a baking sheet bake eggs in upper third of oven until whites are cooked through, or until desired doneness, about 12 minutes. (The yolks will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area.)
• Season eggs with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook onion in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook, covered, stirring 2 or 3 times, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring, until excess liquid is evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes. Add cream, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Arrange buttered ramekins in a shallow baking pan and divide spinach among them. Make an indentation in center of each and carefully crack an egg into each indentation. Bake in middle of oven until whites are just set, about 15 minutes.
• Serve eggs in ramekins with bacon and toast.

BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Select a roasting pan large enough to accommodate three 11.5 ounce mini-bakers without letting them touch. Coat the bottoms and the sides of the bakers with the butter. Bring 4 to 5 quarts of water to a boil.
• 3. Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, then crumble. Add the onions to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 1 minute.
• 4. Divide the cream, bacon and onions evenly among the bakers and crack 2 eggs into each. Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan and cover with the lids.
• 5. Place the bakers in a roasting pan and place the pan into the oven. Fill the pan with enough boiling water to come two-thirds up the sides of the bakers. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the lids from the bakers, and bake for 12 minutes longer, then turn the oven up to broil. Broil until the whites are set but still jiggle a little and the tops start to brown, about 2 minutes longer. Serve with the buttered toast.
