Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs
- 5 oz Fresh Spinach
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Pinch Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Pinch Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and gently squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Divide spinach mixture into four small oven-safe ramekins or muffin tin cups.
- Create a well in the center of each spinach nest and crack an egg into each well.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the eggs.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a food thermometer to ensure the eggs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Serve immediately.
