Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (approximately 2 teaspoons)
  • 5 ounces (140g) fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping (approximately 25g, plus more for topping)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60 ml)
  • 4 large eggs
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Divide the spinach mixture evenly between the two ramekins.
  4. Sprinkle each ramekin with half of the Parmesan cheese. Pour half of the cream over the spinach and cheese in each ramekin.
  5. Make two small wells in the spinach mixture in each ramekin. Carefully crack two eggs into each well.
  6. Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sprinkle the top with remaining parmesan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
  8. Let cool for a couple minutes, and then serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
