BAKED EGGS ON CREAMED SPINACH

3
bunch spinach (about 3/4 lb.)  
T. minced onion  
T. unsalted butter  
T. heavy cream  
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste  
2  
large eggs  
Preheat oven to 400°F and butter two 1/3− to 1/2−cup ramekins.  
Discard coarse stems from spinach. In a 2− to 3−quart saucepan of boiling salted  
water cook spinach 2 minutes and drain in a sieve, pressing with back of a large  
spoon to remove as much water as possible. Finely chop spinach.  
In a small nonstick skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring,  
until softened. Stir in spinach, cream, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and  
cook, stirring, until hot. Divide creamed spinach between ramekins and break an  
egg into each. On a baking sheet bake eggs in upper third of oven until whites are  
cooked through, or until desired doneness, about 12 minutes. (The yolks will not  
be fully cooked, which may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in  
your area.) Season eggs with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 2.
