Ingredients
Directions
Cook bacon in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon; pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add shallot and garlic; sauté over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes until soft. Add spinach; cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Return bacon to skillet. Stir in cream; reduce heat to low and simmer until cream is thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Divide spinach mixture evenly among four greased 5 oz. ramekins or custard cups. Sprinkle croutons evenly over the spinach. Break an egg over the spinach mixture and place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
