Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh spinach
• 4 Eggs
• 60 ml Heavy cream
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach and pat it dry.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins or a small baking dish.

Step 7

Divide the cooked spinach evenly between the prepared ramekins or spread it evenly in the baking dish.

Step 8

Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin, or evenly space the eggs over the spinach if using one dish.

Step 9

Drizzle heavy cream evenly over the eggs and spinach.

Step 10

Finely grate Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the top.

Step 11

Add a light dusting of nutmeg and chili flakes (if using) for extra flavor.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Carefully remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 2 minutes.

Step 14

Serve immediately with crusty bread or a light green salad on the side, if desired.
