Because this brunch casserole is so quick and easy, it may become a regular weekday breakfast dish. It’s healthy, too, since it contains a good portion of spinach, as well as other fresh ingredients, so there’s no need to feel guilty if the family requests it often.
4 Servings
4 teaspoons butter
4 cups packed fresh baby spinach
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup crisp crumbled bacon
8 eggs

- Place them in the microwave for a few seconds to melt the butter.
- Divide the spinach between the ramekins and toss with the butter.
- Microwave 3-4 minutes (all four ramekins at one time in the microwave) or until the spinach is wilted.
- Sprinkle each with a little pepper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon bacon over the spinach.
- Crack two eggs into each ramekin over the bacon.
- Pour 2 tablespoons whipping cream over the eggs.
- Top with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the cream in each ramekin.
