When I visited Eureka Springs Arkansas we stayed at Dairy Hollow House. The owner was Crescent Dragonwagon. She was and is a fabulous chef and author of many children's books. She was the sweetest person and because of her name ( a non de plume) and the faboulous visit to Eureka Springs with my parents, I have never forgotten her.

Make 8 indentations with the back of a spoon (this is where the eggs will later be placed). Bake 25 minutes.

- Passover variation: Substitute 1/2 cup matzo meal for flour in the spinach nests. Substitute brown rice, cooked barley or potato pancakes for the English muffins.
