Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped

1 tablespoon butter

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., chives or parsley)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Spinach: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Remove the spinach mixture from the skillet and set aside.

    Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the cream to thicken slightly.

      Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolks. Gently slide the eggs into the creamy mixture, spacing them evenly in the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your preferred level of doneness).

        Combine and Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, gently spoon the creamy spinach over the eggs. Use a spatula to carefully lift the eggs onto plates, ensuring they remain intact. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs.

          Enjoy: Serve warm, accompanied by toasted bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
