I'm mildly allergic to eggs - just uncooked egg albumin, really. Meringue, egg white frosting, that sort of thing. But as long as it's cooked through, it's not terribly bad. I can suffer through an itchy tongue for this delicious dish. There are many variations of shirred eggs, including with creamed spinach. They're a great brunch item - relatively easy to prepare.
