Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 ounces Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 units Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 4 slices Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently until it wilts down completely. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the spinach and cream mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 5-8 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread on the side for dipping, if desired.
