Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
• Add the spinach to the boiling water, stir to wilt for a few seconds and use a slotted spoon to transfer the spinach to the ice water bath. Drain the water from the spinach and transfer to a clean kitchen towel, twisting to wring out all the moisture. Separate the clumps as much as possible and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft and browned slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ham and cook 1 minute more. Add the cream and whisk in the mustard, nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the Parmesan. Simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the spinach and turn off the heat.
• Put four 8-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet and divide the cream sauce among them. Use a spoon to push some of the filling to the edges and make some room in the middle. Crack an egg into the center of each ramekin and sprinkle the top of each egg with salt and pepper. Top each ramekin with 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella.
• Bake until the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness and the tops are bubbling and starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and nutmeg and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Fill a small saucepan with 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the lemon juice. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg in a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Slowly slide the egg into the water. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the water around the egg. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until the white has set and the yolk is still soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
• To serve, place a tomato slice on each salad plate and season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the spinach sauce over the tomato slice. Top with a poached egg and sprinkle with the crumbled prosciutto. Serve warm.
• Cook's Note: The poached eggs can be made ahead of time if stored in water and refrigerated. Reheat by placing in simmering water for 30 seconds.

EGGS FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Put the washed spinach in a saucepan with a lid and cook until wilted, 2-4 minutes, or put the washed spinach in a microwave-safe covered dish and cook on high until wilted, 1-3 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
• Put the mayonnaise, mustard and 2 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl, and blend well; aim for a definite lemon flavour, so add more juice if it isn't noticeable.
• Cut the croissants in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on plates.
• Drizzle each with 1/8th of the sauce, (put tomato slices on now if you want) divide spinach into four portions and place on croissant halves, and drizzle the rest of the sauce on the spinach.
• Poach the eggs: I am hopeless at poaching them in a saucepan, so I do mine one-by-one in the microwave in a small lidded ceramic bowl; you could use ramekins or another small dish.
• Grease the inside of the bowl with a bit of the butter, add 1 tbsp cold water and one egg; pierce the yolk lightly with a fork so it doesn't explode.
• Cook on medium for 30 seconds, check for doneness (set white, still soft yolk) and if necessary cook in 10-15 second increments until the white is fully set, but keep the yolk pretty soft.
• Put one egg on each croissant, and serve.
• p.s. If you are more ambitious, make real hollandaise sauce, such as #49031, instead my cheat!
• p.p.s. When I am REALLY lazy, I just use lightly browned toast instead of the croissant, but it's not nearly as nice.
