Baked Eggs with Spinach and Roasted Garlic

Baked Eggs with Spinach and Roasted Garlic



Ingredients

4 pastured eggs
1 T butter
2 T heavy cream
a few cloves of roasted garlic (optional- I had some lying around)
2 handfuls raw baby spinach or other leafy greens
sea salt
black pepper


Method

Step 1
preheat the oven to 400˚.

Step 2
Wilt the spinach in a pan with some butter, or if you made bacon to go with your eggs, in the bacon fat.

Step 3
In each of 2 oven safe ramekins, place 1/2 T butter and 1 T cream.

Step 4
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the hot oven for 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the cream is warm.

Step 5
Remove the baking sheet and ramekins from the oven and add half the spinach to each one, making a bit of a nest.

Step 6
Carefully crack open 2 eggs into each spinach nest. (Feel free to crack them into a separate dish if you’re worried about them making it into the ramekins with the yolks intact. It’s important for this dish.)

Step 7
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and a few cloves roasted garlic, if you’re using it.

Step 8
Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the whites are just barely cooked.
