KETO BAKED EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
• Add the spinach to the boiling water, stir to wilt for a few seconds and use a slotted spoon to transfer the spinach to the ice water bath. Drain the water from the spinach and transfer to a clean kitchen towel, twisting to wring out all the moisture. Separate the clumps as much as possible and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft and browned slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ham and cook 1 minute more. Add the cream and whisk in the mustard, nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the Parmesan. Simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the spinach and turn off the heat.
• Put four 8-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet and divide the cream sauce among them. Use a spoon to push some of the filling to the edges and make some room in the middle. Crack an egg into the center of each ramekin and sprinkle the top of each egg with salt and pepper. Top each ramekin with 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella.
• Bake until the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness and the tops are bubbling and starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 10-ounce oven-proof ramekins or custard cups with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
• 2. In a 9-inch skillet, melt margarine. Add spinach and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• 3. Transfer cooked spinach to a medium-size mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
• 4. Spoon half of the spinach mixture into each of the prepared ramekins. Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each portion. Being careful not to break the yolk, break 1 egg into a small dish, and then slide it into the one of the indentations; repeat with remaining egg. Pour 1 teaspoon half-and-half over each egg, then sprinkle each with remaining 1/2 teaspoon parmesan cheese.
• 5. Place ramekins in preheated oven (350°), and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are set. Serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. 2. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in half-and-half; bring mixture to boil, whisking constantly. Simmer, whisking frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in spinach, Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne. 3. Lightly spray six 6-ounce ramekins with oil spray. Evenly divide spinach filling among ramekins. Using back of spoon, push filling 1 inch up sides of ramekins to create 1/8-inch-thick layer. Shape remaining filling in bottom of ramekin into 1 1/2-inch diameter mound, making shallow indentation in center of mound large enough to hold yolk. Place filled ramekins in 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish. Bake until filling just starts to brown, about 7 minutes, rotating dish halfway through baking. 4. While filling is heating, crack eggs (taking care not to break yolks) into individual cups or bowls. Remove baking dish with ramekins from oven and place on wire rack. Gently pour eggs from cups into hot ramekins, centering yolk in filling. Lightly spray surface of each egg with oil spray and sprinkle each evenly with pinch salt. Return baking dish to oven and bake until whites are just opaque but still tremble (carryover heat will cook whites through), 6 to 8 minutes, rotating dish halfway through baking. 5. Remove dish from oven and, using tongs, transfer ramekins to wire rack. Let stand until whites are firm and set (yolks should still be runny), about 10 minutes. Serve immediately. TO MAKE AHEAD: Follow recipe through step 3, skipping baking of lined ramekins. Wrap ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To serve, remove plastic and heat lined ramekins, directly from refrigerator, for additional 3 to 4 minutes (10 to 11 minutes
