Uova Fiorentina (Egg Florentine)

Ingredients:
4 eggs
3 tbs. olive oil
1 1/2 lbs. fresh spinach
Salt & pepper to taste
4 tbs. grated Pecorino cheese

             Clean, wash, and drain spinach carefully.  Put oil in saucepan; when hot, add spinach.  Cover well; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until tender.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
             Arrange spinach in four individual ramekins (glass serving bowls).  Break an egg over each; sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Pecorino cheese over top.  Bake in moderate oven about 3 minutes or until egg white is firm but yolk is still soft. Serves 4.
