Coddled eggs are basically steamed, creamy eggs. I love their texture, but if you would rather have poached or scrambled eggs, then go for it.

Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and set a steamer basket on top.

Step 2

Drop a chunk of butter into two ramekin dishes, then crack an egg into each one. When the water is boiling and there is a good amount of steam running through the steamer, carefully place the ramekins into the basket. Cover and steam for 6–10 minutes or until the whites are firm, but the yolks are still runny.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the bacon and fry for 1–2 minutes or until crisp. Stir in the spinach and cook until it has wilted, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Serve up the coddled eggs with the bacon and spinach, topped with a sprinkling of pine nuts.
