Ounce Raw bacon; chopped  
Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar  
/2 Cup Julienne red onions  
0 Ounce Spinach − (1 bag); cleaned, stemmed  
/2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter twelve 4−ounce ramekins. In  
a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and  
saute for 2 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Add the  
onions and tablespoon of garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Remove from the heat,  
stir in the herbs and cool. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and cream  
together. Stir in the cheese, nutmeg, and mushroom mixture. Spoon the  
mushroom/cream mixture into the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking pan  
and fill the pan with enough water to cover 1/2 of the ramekins. Place the  
pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the flan is set. In a  
saute pan, render the bacon until crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn the crispy  
bacon and bacon fat into a mixing bowl. Whisk in the balsamic vinegar.  
Season with salt and pepper. Toss the spinach and red onions with the  
vinaigrette. To serve, run a knife around each ramekin, invert each flan  
onto a plate. Mound a small amount of the spinach salad in the center of  
each flan. This recipe yields about 12 servings.
