Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 17 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 20 ounces (2 bags) fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 - 8 eggs
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Here's how to make it:
- In an ovenproof pan or cast iron skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add half of the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. ((You could use thawed frozen spinach that's been squeezed dry.)
- Pour in the heavy cream and cook until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. (For some spice, add crushed red pepper flakes.)
- Using a spoon, make a well in the spinach to hold each egg. Crack the eggs into each hole. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. (Alternately, you could spoon the spinach mixture into ramekins before topping each with an egg or two for individual servings, as pictured.)
- Put the skillet into a preheated 400-degree F oven until eggs are set, about 6 to 8 minutes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave.
