Ingredients
  • ingredients per person:
  • 1 handful baby leaf spinach, or mature spinach with stalks removed
  • knob of butter
  • a little rapeseed or olive oil
  • 1 rasher streaky bacon (optional)
  • 2-3 medium-sized mushrooms (or 1 big one)

Directions
Put the spinach in a pan with just the water clinging to the leaves from washing. Cover, and put over a medium heat until wilted – just a minute or two. Drain in a colander then squeeze out any excess water with your hands. Chop roughly and, while still warm, mix in a little knob of butter. Set aside. If you’re using the bacon, heat a trickle of oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry until crisp then remove and set aside. Slice the mushrooms and add them to the bacon frying pan, with a knob of butter. Fry over a medium heat for a few minutes, until all the mushrooms’ moisture is driven off and they’re starting to brown. Set aside. Generously butter a small (appx. 8cm diameter) ramekin dish for each person, and preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Press 1 tbsp of the wilted, buttered spinach into the bottom of each ramekin. Then add about 1 tbsp fried mushrooms, then the bacon, if you’re using it, then the grated cheese. Pour in 1 tbsp double cream. Crack in the egg, being careful not to break the yolk. Scatter with salt and pepper, then put in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the white is cooked but the yolk is still runny (or how you like it). serve straight away.
