Ingredients

• 300 grams Fresh spinach
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 eggs Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

Step 2

Rinse the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Spread the wilted spinach evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish or skillet.

Step 6

Pour the heavy cream over the spinach, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the top.

Step 7

Use a spoon to make four wells in the cheesy spinach mixture. Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.

Step 8

Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 9

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. For firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad, and enjoy!
