Eggs, Baked w Spinach & Mushrooms
Serves 4
Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 450. Bring 1/2 inch water to boil in a 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet (not cast iron), then add half of the spinach and cook, turning w tongs, until wilted, about 30 seconds. Add remaining spinach and wilt in the same manner, then cook, covered, over moderately high heat until spinach is tender, 2 min. Drain in colander and cool under cold running water. Gently squeeze handfuls of spinach to remove as much liquid as possible, then coarsely chop. Wipe skillet dry, then cook onion and garlic in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 2-3 min. Add mushrooms and increase heat to moderate, then cook, stirring, until mushrooms are softened and have exuded liquid, 3 min. Stir in cream, s&p, nutmeg, and spinach and bring to a simmer. Remove skillet from heat and make 4 large indentations in spinach mix. Break an egg into each indentation and bake, uncovered, until egg whites are set, but yolks are still runny, 7-10 min. Lightly season, then sprinkle w cheese.

| Eggs Irsini | Serves | 6 |
| Preheat the oven to 300. Break each egg separately, pouring the whites into a bowl but leaving the yolks in the shells. Try to remove the
threads from the yolks, but do not break the yolks. Prop the shells in an egg carton. Add salt to whites and beat them until stiff enough to
support the weight of a teaspoon without it sinking in. Grease an ovenproof dish and pour the whites into it all at once. Smooth the
surface with a wooden spoon. Use the spoon handle to make 6 fairly deep cavities in the
whites, evenly spaced and as far apart as possible. Slip one yolk into each cavity and sprinkle w pepper. Sprinkle the whole dish w cheese and dot w butter. Place on bottom shelf
and bake 20-30 min or until yolks are set. SERVE IMMEDIATELY. |
