Champagne Brunch Eggs

Eggs cooked by baking and mixing flavors to produce the silkiest, smoothest, and most flavorful  eggs you’ve always wondered how the chef could make…..here’s the way to do it…

Some chefs call these “shirred eggs”.  If you want to impress people...just try this...

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. unsalted butter

4 tbsp. cooked chopped spinach (squeeze to extract excess water)

4 eggs into each dish

1⁄2 tomato

2 tbsp. heavy cream

1 slice bacon, cooked and chopped

2 tbsp. grated parmesan

1⁄2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme

1⁄4 tsp. grated nutmeg

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to broil and place a rack 10" from the heating element. Grease two 8-oz. gratin dishes with butter. To each dish, add 2 tbsp. spinach. Using your fingers, make 2 wells in each pile of spinach and crack 2 eggs into each dish.

2. Cut tomato into 4 wedges and nestle 2 wedges on opposite sides of each dish. Pour 1 tbsp. heavy cream into each dish. Add half of the bacon to each dish.

3. Sprinkle each dish with 1 tbsp. parmesan, 1⁄4 tsp. thyme, 1⁄8 tsp. nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to oven rack and broil until the cheese is golden brown, the whites of the eggs are set, and the yolks are still slightly soft, about 5 minutes.

4. Use tongs and a kitchen towel to transfer dishes to 2 serving plates lined with paper napkins to prevent the dishes from slipping.

Serves about 2(ish) and has about 3 grams of carbs per serving

I actually made this on Sunday and it was AWESOME. I changed it a bit because I didn't have any spinach, so I put crushed tomatoes and crumbled bacon on the bottom, instead of the tomato wedge and whole bacon. Baking eggs this way makes them so soft and it's so easy-I was totally impressed! This is my new weekend dish-I love it! I can't wait to try out other variations-thank you so much!
