Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter two small ramekins or a small baking dish.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add spinach in batches, stirring until wilted. Cook until all liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Divide spinach mixture evenly between ramekins. Make a small well in the center of each.
- Crack 2 eggs into each well. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Let cool 2 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Serve with crusty bread or toast for dipping.
- For a richer flavor, substitute Gruyère for Parmesan.
- If you prefer firmer yolks, bake 2-3 minutes longer.
