Steps:
- Put bacon into a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let drain on paper towels. Reserve 6 slices, and coarsely chop 7 slices; set aside. Pour grease from skillet into a bowl, and wipe skillet clean; set skillet and grease aside.
- Bring milk, 2 cups water, the grits, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, butter, and reserved chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon bacon grease in reserved skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes; set aside.
- Bring a large shallow saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, then slide it into simmering water. Quickly repeat with remaining eggs. Cook, gently turning eggs with a slotted spoon, until whites are opaque but yolks are still soft, 21/2 to 3 minutes. Serve with grits, spinach, and bacon. (If grits have become too thick, reheat, stirring in more milk as needed.)
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.

- 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.

POACHED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
This is a family recipe my mother made for me growing up. My grandfather had several acres of asparagus on his farm, and this was something they served during the spring and fall whenever asparagus was plentiful. This recipe is also good served with warm breakfast ham or Canadian bacon--just put in on the toast before the egg. Top this masterpiece with another slice of toast to make a sandwich and eat it on the go.

BACON, SPINACH, AND EGG SCRAMBLE
This is my new favorite way to scramble eggs. I don't have the cooking chops to flip an omelet, but I can mix the same ingredients together. It may not be as pretty, but it tastes just as good!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine 1 cup olive oil and next 3 ingredients in small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes to release flavors. Remove from heat. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
- Using large serrated knife, trim off crust from top and sides of bread, leaving bottom crust intact to form rectangle-shaped loaf. Quarter trimmed loaf crosswise, forming 4 thick rectangular pieces. Cut deep nest in 1 piece, leaving 1/2-inch border on all 4 sides and 3/4-inch-thick base. Pull out bread center. Repeat with remaining bread pieces; reserve centers for another use. Place hollowed-out bread pieces on small baking sheet. Brush bread all over with olive oil mixture. Bake until bread is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Cool bread; maintain oven temperature.
- Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté 2 minutes. Add spinach and stir until just wilted. Fill 12-inch-diameter skillet with water to within 1/2 inch of top. Add vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Break 1 egg into small custard cup, being careful to keep yolk intact. Gently slide egg into boiling water; repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer until eggs are softly cooked, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Whisk together mustard, salt, shallots, parsley, and 4 1/2 teaspoons vinegar in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and brown bacon with pepper, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water and 1 teaspoon vinegar and bring to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them evenly. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss frisée with dressing. Serve topped with bacon and eggs.
Tips:
- For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs and bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs.
- To prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water.
- If you don't have a poaching pan, you can use a colander or a slotted spoon to keep the eggs submerged in the water.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- To make the hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter for a smoother sauce.
- If you don't have clarified butter, you can melt regular butter and skim off the foam.
- When making the hollandaise sauce, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together slowly over low heat to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- If the hollandaise sauce does curdle, you can try to save it by adding a few drops of cold water and whisking vigorously.
- Serve the poached eggs with Canadian bacon, spinach, and hollandaise sauce immediately.
Conclusion:
Poached eggs with Canadian bacon and spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make brunch or lunch dish. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect poached eggs every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
