Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 3 Eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish large enough to hold 4 ramekins by placing a kitchen towel on the bottom to prevent sliding. Set aside.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 30 seconds. Drain and immediately transfer the spinach to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out any excess liquid and chop finely.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the blanched spinach mixture, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Lightly grease 4 ramekins (6-ounce capacity each) with butter or non-stick spray. Divide the custard mixture evenly among the ramekins.

Step 6

Place the ramekins into the prepared baking dish. Carefully fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help the custards cook evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the custards are set and the tops are golden.

Step 8

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a starter or a savory side dish.
