Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook the bacon in the microwave until crispy.

Melt butter in a skillet and wilt the spinach, seasoning with a little salt.

Transfer the wilted spinach into oven-proof baking dishes.

Pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream per egg into the baking dishes, coating the bottom.

Create a small nest in the spinach for each egg and crack the eggs into the nests.

Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

Place the baking dishes in a larger baking pan and add warm water around them to create a water bath.

Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, checking for desired doneness of the egg yolks.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle cooked bacon over the top of the eggs.
