>Here's How to Make It in 20 Minutes:

Before You Start:

Preheat the oven to 500F to bake the eggs and glaze the grapefruit.

Step 1: make the baked eggs with creamed spinach on english muffins
2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen creamed spinach
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
4 English muffins
½ cup thick-style mild or spicy salsa

1. Preheat the oven to 500F.
2. Make a slit in the end of each of the packages of frozen spinach and place them in a 2-quart Pyrex baking dish. Microwave on High for 10 minutes. Open the bags and transfer the hot spinach to the baking dish. Using the back of a soup spoon, make 4 equally spaced indentations in the spinach.
3. Break an egg into each indentation. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the conventional oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Remove the baking dish from the oven.
4. Meanwhile, with a fork, split each of the English muffins. Toast the muffins in a toaster or toaster oven until lightly colored. Transfer 1 muffin to each of 4 dinner plates. Do not turn off the oven.

Step 2: while the eggs are baking, assemble the green salad with mushrooms and croutons
1 bag (5 ounces) prewashed spring or baby greens
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup whole-wheat croutons
¼ cup store-bought salad dressing of choice

Place the greens, mushroom slices, and croutons in a salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Place the bowl with 4 salad plates on the table.
Step 3: prepare the pink grapefruit with brown sugar glaze
2 pink grapefruits
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Cut each grapefruit in half and section the halves. Place the halves in a small baking dish.
2. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over each of the grapefruit halves. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the grapefruit is warm and the sugar is slightly melted.
Step 4: serve
1. Using a large spoon, scoop an egg with some of the creamed spinach under it and place it over the English muffin halves on each plate. Spoon 2 tablespoons salsa over the egg. Plate the remaining eggs and spinach and garnish with salsa in the same way.
2. When ready for dessert, serve the baked grapefruit halves, preferably still slightly warm, in small bowls.
