4 servings
Servings4
1 tbsp butter, extra to grease
1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
3.5 oz hand-carved cooked ham, finely chopped
4 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup cream
2 tbsp goat’s cheese
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Buttered sourdough toast fingers, to serve

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese offers fewer calories while still melting well.

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.

2

Heat the butter in a small pan and quickly sauté the spinach until wilted. Season to taste and drain off any excess liquid.

3

Butter 4 deep ramekins and spoon a small mound of spinach in the bottom of each one, then scatter over the ham and goat's cheese.

4

Crack in an egg and season with salt, then add a quarter of the cream to each ramekin.

5

Arrange the ramekins in a roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come about halfway up each ramekin.

6

Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the eggs are just set but the yolks are still runny.

7

Set a ramekin on a warmed plate and add sourdough toast fingers to serve.
