Green Eggs and Ham
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 large shallots, finely chopped
- 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted in microwave and liquids drained
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, eyeball it
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- 8 slices deli ham or prosciutto di Parma
- 8 eggs
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter and sweat the shallots a few minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir in the cream, season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a little grated nutmeg.
- Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally, until the cream has thickened, 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- Fold each slice of ham or prosciutto in half and line the nonstick cups with 1 slice of meat each.
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooked spinach into each of the cups, then crack an egg into each, making sure it stays whole (hint - if you're worried about breaking the egg yolk, crack the egg into a small bowl first, then pour it into the muffin cup).
- Season the tops of the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bake in the oven until set, about 15 minutes.
- Allow the baked eggs to cool in the muffin cups for a couple of minutes before removing them from the pan.
- Serve immediately.
