Indulge in Creamy Spinach and Eggs: tender wilted spinach, aromatic garlic, and rich Parmesan cream. A simple, comforting dish perfect any time. Full recipe and nutritional facts await!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 oz (about 150g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Step 2: Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until the spinach has wilted completely and most of its liquid has evaporated. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Step 4: Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the spinach mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
  5. Step 5: Season the cooked eggs with the remaining salt and pepper. Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of crusty bread.

Notes

  • While best enjoyed fresh, any delicious leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; just know the egg yolks might not be as perfectly runny upon reheating.
  • To warm up any leftovers, gently reheat in a non-stick skillet over low heat with a splash of water or milk, covering it to steam it through, which helps prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
  • Enjoy this dish as a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or light dinner; it pairs wonderfully with some crusty sourdough bread for dipping, or a simple green salad to cut through the richness.
  • For the creamiest result, make sure to thoroughly wilt the spinach and let most of its natural liquid evaporate before you add the heavy cream, ensuring your sauce stays rich and flavorful.
