Eat the World

I have joined the newly formed #EattheWorld Recipe Challenge, created by Evelyne of Culture Eatz. Each month we are assigned a different country as inspiration and post on the 10th.

Today we are celebrating Irish food! I recently updated photos for my Irish Soda Bread and it was perfect for pairing with these Irish Baked Eggs with Spinach.

Irish Baked Eggs with Spinach

This easy and comforting dish comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Eggs are cracked into ramekins with a mixture of crispy bacon, wilted spinach, shredded cheese, and cream. Top with a sprinkling of salt, pepper, fresh chives, or your favorite herbs.

You can either cook the bacon on the stovetop in a skillet or in a 400˚F (200˚C) oven on a wire rack topped rimmed baking sheet until crispy, about 15 minutes. I often opt to use the oven for an easy and hands-off way to cook a batch of bacon at once.

Avoiding pork? The bacon can easily be omitted. Other popular additions include mushrooms or other vegetables.

I was able to find Dubliner cheese at my local grocery store next to the blocks of Cheddar. This Cork-based cow’s milk cheese has a pale yellow color and flavor combining the nuttiness of Parmesan with the sharpness of Cheddar.

Can’t find it or want to try something different? A good quality Cheddar or even goat cheese would also work nicely.

    Those baked eggs sound and look so good! I am a sweet breakfast person, but sometimes, I “steal” part of my husband’s breakfast, especially if he’s having baked eggs. Love the spinach in there!
