Baked Eggs with Bacon & Spinach

Okay, we've been trying to cut back and eat healthier. So I found this new recipe on pinterest (of course!) And just had to try it for myself!  I'm not the biggest fan of spinach, but this recipe just jumped out at me...maybe because anything with bacon just has to be yummy!  I made these last night and they lived up to my expectations.  You should definitely try it for yourself!



BAKED EGGS WITH BACON AND SPINACH
Serves 2, but this can be split in half easily to make them in small individual ramekins.
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 3-4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed spinach
  • 2 Tbsp cream
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
Preheat oven to 375.  Spray an oven-safe ramekin with nonstick spray.  Pour cream and butter into the bottom of the dish.  Layer the spinach and bacon on top.  Gently crack each egg onto a fourth of the spinach/bacon.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme.  Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until the yolks are where you like them (I know a LOT of people like them runny, and by all means…go for it!  Just keep in mind it will need to bake longer if you want/need them to be hard).  Serve hot!

I didn't have any thyme in my kitchen, so I just added salt and pepper and my husband added cayenne pepper to his.  He's been on a cayenne pepper kick here lately :)


So now it's your turn to try...how did you like it?
