Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Grated Gruyere or Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Grease two small ovenproof dishes or ramekins with the remaining butter. Divide the creamy spinach mixture evenly between the ramekins, spreading it out to create a flat base.
Gently crack two eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the eggs.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the breadcrumb topping for extra crispness.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
