How to Make Baked Eggs With Bacon And Spinach
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
- Add 1 cup of fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer spinach to a strainer to drain excess liquid.
- Lightly brush four 1-cup ramekins with the reserved bacon drippings.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.
- Place one toasted half of an English muffin, split-side up, into each ramekin.
- Divide the cooked spinach evenly among the ramekins, layering it on top of the English muffin halves.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the spinach.
- Gently crack one large egg into the center of each ramekin, being careful to keep the yolk intact.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of half-and-half over each egg.
- Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a tablespoon of grated sharp cheddar cheese to each ramekin at this point.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
