Canadian Bacon Hash With Poached Eggs Recipes

POACHED EGGS WITH CANADIAN BACON AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Cook the Canadian bacon in the hot oil until brown and a little crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and shallots to pan, and cook until they brown and soften, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach with whatever water clings to the leaves, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Raise the heat to high, stir the spinach, incorporating any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cover and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add the vinegar. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water, blot dry with a paper towel.
• Divide the bacon between 4 plates, top with spinach and then with the poached eggs.

• 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.
