Whip up an easy and elegant brunch for no-stress entertaining, or treat someone special to breakfast in bed. This simplified version of the popular baked egg dish gets prepped right on the baking pan, meaning minimal dishes and straightforward execution. Named for the spinach in the dish - Catherine de Medicis was said to have brought the leafy vegetable to the French royal court from her native Florence, Italy - this easy recipe relies on frozen spinach that requires only a little doctoring with salt and some punchy lemon pepper. As an additional time saver, thaw the spinach in the fridge overnight in a covered colander or sieve set over a plate or shallow dish to catch the draining juices, then squeeze out the remaining excess liquid before using. Although ready in mere minutes, this brunch classic is impressive, light, and pretty on the plate.
