Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly butter a shallow baking dish or four individual ramekins.

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach, a pinch of salt, a pinch of nutmeg, and grated lemon rind.

Sauté the spinach mixture, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is fully wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
-
Spread the cooked spinach evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish or divide among the ramekins.
-
Carefully crack one egg on top of the spinach in each portion. Sprinkle the egg whites with salt and pepper.
-
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of cream over each egg and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Place a small pat of butter on top of each egg.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
-
Serve immediately while hot.
