Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup thinly sliced country ham, finely chopped
scant 3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp finely chopped onion
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
3/4 tsp finely chopped garlic
10 oz spinach , coarse stems discarded
8 large eggs
equipment: 8 (6-oz) ramekins or ovenproof teacups

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Bring ham and cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then remove from heat. Let steep, uncovered, about 10 minutes.
Cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, turning with tongs, until spinach is wilted.
Drain spinach in a colander, pressing to remove excess liquid, then coarsely chop. Divide spinach, then ham, among ramekins, spooning 1 tablespoon cream into each serving. Crack eggs into ramekins and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 teaspoon cream over each egg. Cut remaining tablespoon butter into 8 small pieces and dot each egg with butter.
Put ramekins in a shallow baking pan and bake, rotating pan halfway through baking, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 15 to 20 minutes, removing from oven as cooked.
Cooks' note: The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. I heat extra butter in a saucepanand heat til hot but not brown and spoon over egg yokes to cook.
