Baked Eggs With Bacon and Spinach

This is a very tasty breakfast/brunch dish! For variation, I have added grated sharp cheddar cheese right on top of the English Muffin before adding anything else. I can see many variations of this simple dish. Normally I bake my bacon, but for this recipe I fry it as you need to use a pan anyway. I also use half and half instead of the cream.
