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.

Great recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great dish. I did a rough chop on the Canadian bacon to make it easier to eat. My family liked this one a lot.

Tremendous Payback
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For very little time, effort and cost, this is a most excellent breakfast, brunch or any time snack. There's hardly any... cooking involved. You just have to remember to pre-heat the oven while sauteing the onions. When adding spinach, turn off burner and spinach will cook itself in 2 minutes. People rave. My kids clean their plates. Don't forget the bread to serve with it. You'll need it to sop up all the deliciousness left in the bottom of the ramekin! Read more

Easy & Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for brunch this morning- so easy and a hit with my guests. Instead of ham, I cooked up some bacon and used it to... line the bottom of the ramekins . It worked out great. I highly recommend it!Read more

OMG so very good and tasty. I made it with ham and cut it up so it would fit on the spoon that way i could get all the... goodness on my spoon. You can make this for guest and they will be impressed. But most of all you can't mess it up, really easy to make. Read more
