Eggs With Cream, Spinach, And Country Ham

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced country ham, finely chopped
• Scant 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
• 10 ounces spinach, coarse stems discarded
• 8 large eggs
• Equipment: 8 (6-ounce) ramekins or ovenproof teacups

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F with rack in middle.
2. Bring ham and cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then remove from heat. Let steep, uncovered, about 10 minutes.
3. Cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, turning with tongs, until spinach is wilted.
4. Drain spinach in a colander, pressing to remove excess liquid, then coarsely chop. Divide spinach, then ham, among ramekins, spooning 1 tablespoon cream into each serving. Crack eggs into ramekins and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 teaspoon cream over each egg. Cut remaining tablespoon butter into 8 small pieces and dot each egg with butter.
5. Put ramekins in a shallow baking pan and bake, rotating pan halfway through baking, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 15 to 20 minutes, removing from oven as cooked.
