Ingredients

  • Nonstick spray, for coating the ramekins
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt
  • 6 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo, chopped, or breakfast sausage
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Toast or baguette, for serving
  • Special equipment: Four 6-ounce ramekins

Directions

Position the oven rack about 8 inches from the top and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spray the ramekins with nonstick spray.

Place 2 to 3 tablespoons water and the spinach, butter and a pinch salt in a microwaveable bowl. Cover the bowl and microwave on high until the spinach softens, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently mix the butter into the spinach and spoon the spinach into the ramekins, leaving any excess water behind.

Cook the chorizo in a small skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon the chorizo into the ramekins. Create a well in the center of each ramekin.

Break 1 egg into the well. Top the eggs with the cheese, and then the cream and sprinkle with salt. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, about 8 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and turn on the broiler.

Once the broiler is hot, place the ramekins under the broiler, until the egg whites are done and the cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch the eggs very carefully to make sure they don't burn. Let the ramekins cool for 1 minute before serving with toast or baguette for dunking.

    This was another recipe I tried of Melissa's and this was another one that the cooking time was way off. I had to double the time and the eggs still weren't cooked. I had to eventually dump the whole thing. Very disappointing.

    I made this for friends at my brunch yesterday and it was the hit of the meal. Prepared exactly as directed and won't change a thing when preparing for company. When fixing this for myself, I will try using my soy chorizo and fat free half and half. I hope it turns out as I would enjoy having this a couple of times a week. As for the lady who had too much grease, etc., use a better quality of chorizo. I always drain my chorizo on paper towels even when using the better quality product.
