ALMOST COMPANION BREAD'S BAKED EGGS
Companion Bread in St. Louis makes the best baked eggs I've ever had. They have several versions in the cafes and have posted the potato version that inspired this recipe at http://www.companionstl.com/baked-eggs-potatoes/. My version came from an effort to lighten it up by not using cream. I also made a few changes based on personal taste and what I happened to have in the house when I decided to give this a whirl.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, 1 tsp kosher salt and pepper.
- Roast potatoes on a jellyroll pan at 450° for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
- While potatoes are roasting, melt butter in small saucepan or pot.
- Add flour to melted butter, stirring to make roux. A little at a time, stir in milk. Heat on medium until sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat; add parmesan and Durkees or mustard.
- Whisk eggs in bowl and add small amount of heated milk mixture to temper.
- Slowly combine tempered eggs and remaining milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Season well with 1 tsp kosher salt and black pepper.
- Spray loaf pan with cooking spray and place roasted potatoes in the bottom of the pan.
- Top with mozzarella and ricotta cheese.
- Pour eggs over potatoes but do not overfill.
- Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. Eggs will fall once removed from oven.
- NOTE: The cafe also serves a version with bacon or with just cheese (no potatoes in either), so feel free to experiment with extra ingredients. I think that this would be great with mushrooms too.
BAKED EGGS WITH CANADIAN BACON, SPINACH, AND AGED CHEDDAR
Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F and arrange rack in middle. Butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins and set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it foams, add onion, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until spinach is well wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Place ham on bottom of ramekins and top with spinach. Crack eggs into ramekins, place 1 tablespoon cream over each egg, and divide half of cheese evenly among ramekins.
- Put ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through baking, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, about 15 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread remaining 2 tablespoons butter on 4 slices sourdough bread. Top with grated cheese and toast until golden brown. Serve eggs with toast.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: - Hearty and flavorful breads like sourdough, multigrain, or French bread work best.
- Hollow out the bread: - Use a serrated knife to carefully cut a circular lid off the top of the bread and scoop out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.
- Crack the eggs: - Carefully crack the eggs into the hollowed-out bread, spacing them evenly. Be careful not to break the yolks.
- Season and bake: - Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Bake in a preheated oven until the eggs are set and the bread is golden brown.
- Top with cheese: - For a richer flavor, top the baked eggs with grated cheese. Cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan are all great options.
