How about a great breakfast recipe?

BAKED EGGS WITH CANADIAN BACON OR HAM, SPINACH, AND CHEESE

Serves 2-4.

3 T. butter, plus more to butter ramekins

2 T. minced onion

Salt and pepper

6 oz. baby spinach, washed and chopped

4 slices Canadian bacon or ham, chopped

4 large eggs

4 T. cream or half and half

1 oz. grated cheddar cheese

Toast

Heat oven to 350⁰ and arrange rack in the middle.  Butter 4 ramekins or small ovenproof dishes.  Set aside.

Melt 1 T. butter in large skillet over medium heat.  Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, about 1-2 minutes.  Add spinach and cook until spinach is well wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Place ham on bottom of ramekins, top with spinach.  Crack 1 egg into each ramekin, cover each egg with 1 T. cream, and top with grated cheese.

Put ramekins on baking sheet and bake (rotate pan halfway through baking), until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 15-18 minutes.  I like our eggs firmer, so I let mine bake about 24 min.

Serve with toast.
