Baked Eggs with Spinach Recipe

In skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add onion and fry until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp/2 mL of the salt, cumin, nutmeg and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Scrape into food processor; add spinach and purée. Return to skillet; stir in cream and heat through.

Scrape into 4 buttered individual gratin dishes (or large 8-cup/2 L shallow baking dish); smooth tops. With back of spoon, press 2 large indentations into spinach mixture in each (or 8 indentations if using large baking dish); break egg into each. Sprinkle egg whites with remaining salt.

Bake in 375F/190C oven until spinach mixture is hot, egg white is set yet soft, and yolk is still runny, 6 to 8 minutes for individual dishes (or 10 to 15 minutes for large baking dish).

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
