Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your equipment: a frying pan, ramekins, and a mixing bowl.
In a frying pan, heat oil or butter over medium heat, then sauté the fresh spinach for 3-5 minutes until wilted.
Transfer the wilted spinach to a bowl, then stir in the cream and nutmeg until well mixed.
Evenly distribute the spinach mixture into ramekins, creating wells for the eggs.
Crack an egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
Season with salt and pepper, then top with cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
