Scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese in pots topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 0.5 cups frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed out and finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 tbsp. coarsely grated parmesan
- 1 small baguette, sliced diagonally, toasted and buttered
Preparation:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 175°C.
- Select a roasting pan large enough to hold three 300 ml (10 oz) ramekins without touching each other. Grease the insides of the ramekins with butter. Bring 4-5 liters (1.5 gal) of water to a boil.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Divide the cream, bacon, spinach, and onion evenly among the pots and crack 2 eggs into each. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cover with lids.
- Place the pots in a roasting pan and place the roasting pan in the oven. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come 2/3 of the way up the pots. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the lids from the pots and bake for another 12 minutes, then switch the oven to broil.
- Cook until the whites are set but still slightly jiggly and the tops are just beginning to brown, another 2 minutes. Serve with buttered toast.
