Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Sauté the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

      Make the Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the spinach. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

        Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, prepare poached eggs to your liking. For soft poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and stir the water to create a vortex. Crack each egg into a small dish and gently slide it into the vortex. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.

          Serve: Divide the creamy spinach mixture onto plates and top each serving with a poached egg. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley on top for garnish.

            Enjoy: Dig into your creamy spinach and eggs delight while it's warm. Perfect for a brunch or a fancy breakfast treat!
