BAKED EGGS ON CREAMED SPINACH
1 bunch spinach (about 3/4 lb.)
2 T. minced onion
1 T. unsalted butter
3 T. heavy cream
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
2 large eggs
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 heated through.
Divide creamed spinach between the two 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 12-15 minutes. Season eggs with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Serves 2.
