Delectable! First time I tried this recipe and it's already a hit with my family. I used a larger ramekin with the large half of the toasted English muffin (lightly buttered) in the bottom. I placed a slice of Colby Jack cheese on top of the muffin, then the sauted spinach. On top of that, I sprinkled cooked (crispy) hash browns, then the bacon. I added the egg and heavy cream, salt & pepper and baked for at least 15 minutes. It was superb! minutes. It was superb!

My husband is the breakfast chef in our household but when I saw this recipe I told him I'd give him a break this morning. I fixed it exactly according to the directions but I added a small handful of shredded Guyere on top of the English muffin then proceed with the spinach and bacon and egg, then the cream. I did this in two individual au gratin dishes because we like two eggs in the morning. I think the small addition of cheese kept the cream from going down into the muffin and kept if from getting soggy. Good dish, we're adding it to our lazy weekend mornings.

I made this up the night before used a large oven proof skillet. (can cook bacon in microwave for a few min) Then add. I also layered some tomato pasta sauce(passata) I had on the bottom. Thin layer. Then cooked it the next morning (weekend). For about 20 min Yum and easy. You can do other things while its cooking.

As a time saver I precook bacon in my oven on a lined sheet pan at 350 once a week to keep it on hand. (reserve drippings) This saves a lot of time on this and other recipes for busy mornings.

I'm not sure why this is under a 'quick' category. Maybe because after you cook the bacon, you can leave it to finish. I wouldn't make this version again but it gave me the idea for modifications below. I didn't use cream, used 1 strip pre cooked market day bacon (30 cal), poached the egg (70 cal), whole wheat toasted english muffin (60 cal), baby spinach (2 cups) (15 cal), salt and pepper and it was great. Since I didn't 'bake' it I used a reusable container to layer and took it to work. total time = 15 minutes, 174 cal, 6 grams fat 15 g carbs, 12 g protein

Would be quicker if you poached an egg and put that on instead of baking 15 minutes

This is a delicious dish and I wouldn't change a thing. I made it for a birthday breakfast and the presentation was lovely.

I loved it. However I didn't have one of the 'fancy' ramekins cups but I had some cute little bowl that I was scared to put in the oven so I baked the eggs and whipped cream in a separate skillet and laid it over the spinach and bacon. I will be picking up some ramekins on my next trip to the store.

Some of the best recipes are the most simple. The flavors of this petit dish are beautiful and rich. Though it looks like a small serving, it is enough and satisfying. Directions are correct so follow along and enjoy!

I made this for friends visiting from Paris and it was a huge hit. Nine months later, they still occasionally mention it.
