Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

2eggs
. 2oz/50g baby spinach leaves
. Small knob of butter
. Tiny pinch nutmeg
. 14 tablespoons of pouring cream
. 1oz/15g grated parmesan cheese
. Cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Select four small ramekins or oven proof dishes. 2. Wash the spinach leaves and dry them thoroughly with some clean linen. 3. Heat a frying pan with a small knob of butter and add the spinach to the pan and cook over a high heat for approximately one minute until the spinach has all wilted down. 4. Once this has happened sprinkle the spinach with a tiny pinch of nutmeg-not too much now or it makes the dish very highly flavoured which is undesirable. 5. Transfer the spinach to a fine sieve and allow it to drain of all the excess liquid. Push the spinach with the back of a spoon if that helps. 6. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5 7. Divide the spinach over the base of the four ramekins and then crack two eggs on top of each portion of spinach. 8. Pour 1 tablespoon of cream on top of each batch of the eggs and then divide the grated parmesan between the four dishes. 9. Put the ramekins on a flat baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the eggs have just set. 10. Serve immediately with slices of well buttered toast.
