Time 53m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 thin slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups (5 ounces) baby spinach
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 beefsteak tomatoes, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick slices

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely before crumbling into small pieces.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Fill a small saucepan with 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the lemon juice. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg in a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Slowly slide the egg into the water. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the water around the egg. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until the white has set and the yolk is still soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  • To serve, place a tomato slice on each salad plate and season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the spinach sauce over the tomato slice. Top with a poached egg and sprinkle with the crumbled prosciutto. Serve warm.
  • Cook's Note: The poached eggs can be made ahead of time if stored in water and refrigerated. Reheat by placing in simmering water for 30 seconds.

Categories     brunch, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large eggs
2 pounds fresh spinach or 1 1/2 packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup flour
2 cups milk, skim milk or half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
Few grindings of black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a 9-inch saucepan. Break each egg into a demitasse cup with a rounded bottom. Smoothly pour eggs into water, and poach 2 to 3 minutes, until as firm as desired. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of warm water.
  • If using fresh spinach, stem, wash well and cook in a heavy pan until limp. Drain thoroughly in a sieve, pressing to remove as much water as possible. Pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped, and strain again. If using frozen spinach, defrost in a sieve under hot running water. Press with the back of a spoon to remove as much water as possible.
  • Butter inside of 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
  • To make the sauce, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in flour. Whisk thoroughly. Whisk in milk or half-and-half. Stir into the corners to incorporate any bits of flour and butter, and whisk again. Place over low heat, and whisk and stir constantly for 8 minutes. Put in food processor, and process until completely smooth. Combine half the sauce with spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and pinch of nutmeg.
  • Preheat broiler, placing rack at highest level. Stir 1/2 cup cheese into remaining sauce.
  • Make a smooth layer of the spinach in the buttered pan. With the back of a kitchen spoon make 4 depressions that do not touch and that are about 1 inch from the edge of the pan.
  • Drain eggs. Place one in each depression. Divide sauce to cover eggs. Do not let sauce touch sides of pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese all over the top. Place pan on a cookie sheet, and broil 4 minutes.
