MadMade with simple ingredients and ready in 15 minutes, these single-serving creamy spinach baked eggs are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or as part of a weekend brunch.
This greens-filled baked egg recipe is a twist on oeufs cocotte. Also known as shirred eggs, oeufs cocotte is a classic French dish made with eggs, crème fraîche, and additional ingredients such as mushrooms, cheese, ham, or herbs, that is baked in a ramekin in a water bath in the oven. And, while I love shirred eggs, I wanted to create a simpler version that was quick and easy enough to make on weekday mornings, which is how I came up with these creamy spinach baked eggs!
The simple combination of spinach, cheese, eggs, and cream creates a rich and creamy texture that makes the perfect bite with a slice of crusty bread – that just happens to be full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats too!
