Ingredients for Baked Eggs With Bacon And Spinach

  • 4 slices bacon
  • Baby Spinach
  • English Muffins
  • 4 large eggs
  • Heavy Whipping Cream

How to Make Baked Eggs With Bacon And Spinach

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Lightly brush four 1-cup ramekins with the reserved bacon drippings.
  5. Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.
  6. Place one toasted half of an English muffin, split-side up, into each ramekin.
  7. Divide the cooked spinach evenly among the ramekins, layering it on top of the English muffin halves.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the spinach.
  9. Gently crack one large egg into the center of each ramekin, being careful to keep the yolk intact.
  10. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of half-and-half over each egg.
  11. 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.
  12. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  13. 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.
