Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and trimmed (or frozen, see below)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 egg (for a heartier breakfast, you can use 2 with ramekins that hold at least 7 ounces)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon plain bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1 slice center-cut bacon (or turkey bacon)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small sauté pan, melt butter and add rinsed, chopped spinach. If using frozen, make sure spinach is completely thawed and drained before adding to pan. Toss the spinach in the pan, stirring to coat it with butter. Place the spinach in the ramekin and use the back of a spoon to make a little nest in the spinach.
  2. Top the nest of spinach with a thin layer of breadcrumbs, about ½ tablespoon. Crack 1 egg into the nest. Top with remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cook one slice of bacon according to package directions. When cooled, crumble on top of egg mixture in ramekin dish.
  4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and the whites solidified. Cooking time will vary by oven so begin checking for doneness after 10 minutes.
