- Coat the bottoms and the sides of the bakers with the butter.
- Bring 4 to 5 quarts of water to a boil.
- 3.
- Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, then crumble.
- Add the onions to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 1 minute.

- Divide the cream, bacon and onions evenly among the bakers and crack 2 eggs into each.
- Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan and cover with the lids.

- Place the bakers in a roasting pan and place the pan into the oven.
- Fill the pan with enough boiling water to come two-thirds up the sides of the bakers.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the lids from the bakers, and bake for 12 minutes longer, then turn the oven up to broil.
- Broil until the whites are set but still jiggle a little and the tops start to brown, about 2 minutes longer.
- Serve with the buttered toast.
