Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cheddar
A classic recipe ready in just 15 minutes using eggs, spinach and cheddar.
Equipment
- 2 small ramekins
Ingredients
- 1 handful spinach
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp double cream
- 50 g cheddar cheese grated
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp butter for greasing
Instructions
- Add the spinach to a dry saucepan and cook over a low to medium heat for a few minutes or until wilted. Using the back of a spoon squeeze the spinach against the side of the pan to remove any excess water.
- Lightly butter the inside of two ramekins. Preheat an oven to 180C.
- Divide the spinach between the ramekins then crack an egg into each ramekin.
- Pour one spoon of double cream into each ramekin along with a little salt and plenty of pepper. Divide the cheese between each ramekin and sprinkle it on top.
- Put the ramekins into a high sided baking tray. Pour enough boiling water into the tray so that it comes two thirds of the way up the ramekin dishes.
- Bake the eggs in the oven for 8 minutes. If you prefer a more set yolk then bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the hot water before serving immediately.
Notes
It is easier to put a little boiling water into the baking tray and take the tray to the oven. Rest the tray on the oven shelf while you pour in any extra water you need.
