Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins or baking dishes with butter.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pan, followed by cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.

Step 4

Add baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Divide the cooked spinach and tomatoes evenly between the ramekins, creating a base layer.

Step 6

Crack two eggs into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream over the top of the eggs in each ramekin.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper over each dish.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for stability and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or toast for dipping.
