Coddled Eggs with Spinach and Goat Cheese
This recipe was from Clinton Kelly on The Chew --if you have ever had issues with making the perfect soft boil texture egg -this recipe is definitely for you -- my ramekins were 6 oz size so I only put in one egg each --you can also use a coffee cup. The goat cheese, spinach and roasted red peppers gave great taste and color. Would be great with asparagus and mushrooms too!
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces baby spinach
- 1 store-bought roasted red pepper (diced)
- 1/4 cup goat cheese (crumbled)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (divided)
- 1 tablespoon chives (finely chopped)
- 8 slices white bread (toasted and cut in half on an angle)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add spinach and season with salt and pepper. Sauté just until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat.
- Line the bottom of a medium saucepan with a clean kitchen towel. Fill pan with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, butter the inside of 4 (8 ounce) ramekins. Divide sautéed spinach between the ramekins. Top each with some roasted pepper, goat cheese, 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place ramekins in saucepan and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove ramekins from saucepan. Serve on 4 plates lined with a napkin. Garnish with chives. Serve with toast.
- Tips:
- If you don't have ramekins, use heatproof glass jars or mugs.
- If making a large batch, bake the coddled eggs in a baking dish filled with 1 inch of warm water. Cover with foil and place in a 325ºF oven for about 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and do not jiggle
