CREAM SPINACH AND MUSHROOM BAKED EGGS

Gorgeous Go Slow Sunday Breakfast
This is a wonderful decadent breakfast dish, beautiful Wiltshire ham, butter braised onions, garlic, mushrooms and spinach set with a rich egg, double cream and parmesan sauce, every spoonful is a sumptuous joy, keep these portioned to a standard small ramekin as they are so rich you can’t eat any more than one!  This is a great easy crowd pleaser keeping holiday pressure to a minimum, you can easily cook 12-24 in one easy batch.

Prep time 5 minutes / Cooking time 16-18 minutes


Ingredients 
(makes 6)

2 spring onions chopped
10 mushrooms roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
200g fresh spinach
25g butter
1 glug olive oil
200g torn fresh ham of the bone
750ml double cream
100g Parmesan grated
6 organic eggs
Himalayan sea salt 
Fresh ground black pepper 
1 pinch fresh gratednutmeg
1 pinch dried chilli optional 

Pre-heat your oven to 180 C / 356 F, place a large deep roasting tin 3/4 filled with boiling water in the oven.  Heat a skillet medium hot, add the butter and olive oil sauté the onions and garlic for around five minutes then add the mushrooms for a further couple of minutes, add the cream and Parmesan, take off the heat, stir in the spinach, ham, nutmeg, salt and pepper.  Divide half the mix between the six ramekins, crack one egg into each ramekin then top with remaining cream mix.

Place each ramekin in to a roasting tray and half fill the tray with boiling water, do this with the tray in the oven, bake for 14 minutes for soft gooey runny eggs or 18 minutes for set whites with a mollet just set yolk.  That’s it, remove and serve immediately, these are almost as good as leftovers cold from the fridge.

These are really versatile swap out cream add seared peppers and tomatoes for a huevos rancheros or
