1 Video | Photo: Baked Eggs with Canadian Bacon, Spinach, and Aged Cheddar Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to butter ramekins
- 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 ounces baby spinach
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 ounce grated aged Cheddar, plus extra for serving
- Sourdough bread
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange rack in middle. Butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins and set aside.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it foams, add onion, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until spinach is well wilted, about 2 minutes.
Place ham on bottom of ramekins and top with spinach. Crack eggs into ramekins, place 1 tablespoon cream over each egg, and divide half of cheese evenly among ramekins.
Put ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through baking, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 15 to 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread remaining 2 tablespoons butter on 4 slices sourdough bread. Top with grated cheese and toast until golden brown. Serve eggs with toast.

So very good and easy to make. Made it for Xmas day brunch. My family really loved this. I had some left over lump crab meat from Xmas Eve so I added some to each ramekin over the spinach layer. Excellent!! The crusty sour dough bread toasted with cheese added a wonderful taste to this dish. I served it also with a side of fresh orange slices, kiwi slices and blackberries. Baked it for about 18 minutes. On one I left out the egg since my daughter-in-law dislikes them so she got extra crab meat. Very, very good. Invert onto your plate and dig in with the cheesy bread. YUMMY!!

Love this breakfast dish for when I have extra time in the morning. Sometimes takes longer in the oven depending how much spinach and eggs I use in each ramekin.

This recipe is dirt-simple and delicious! Especially with homemade Canadian bacon and shallots instead of onions. We are aberrations who like our yolks solid through, so I cook these for 24 minutes total (rotating pan halfway through as advised.
Thanks for an easy awesome elegant breakfast!
For those who are truly lazy, I can testify that this is still delicious even without the onions and spinach, but it is much better with.
