Baked Eggs Florentine

Ingredients

1 tsp margarine
1 cup thawed and well-drained frozen chopped spinach
½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp each pepper and ground nutmeg
2 eggs
2 tsp half-and-half (blend of milk and cream)

Method

  • Preheat oven on 350oF.

  • In a 9-inch nonstick skillet melt margarine; add spinach and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Transfer to medium mixing bowl; add ricotta cheese, 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mix well.

  • Spray two 10-ounce custard cups with nonstick cooking spray, spoon half of the spinach mixture into each cup.

  • Using the back of the spoon, make an indentation in centre of each portion.

  • Being careful not to break yolk, break one egg into as more dish, then slide into 1 indentation; repeat with remaining egg.

  • Pour 1 teaspoon half-add-half over each egg and then sprinkle each with remaining ½ teaspoon Parmesan cheese.

  • Bake until eggs are set, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Makes 2 servings.

Note: Use your microwave oven to thaw frozen vegetables in minutes, or plan ahead and let them thaw in your refrigerator overnight or while you are at the office.
