Ingredients

Ingredients
2 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
6-8 cups fresh baby spinach leaves (about 2 bunches, packed with nutrients)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt, to taste
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 eggs
1 lemon (zested, for garnish)
Freshly grated Parmesan (for garnish)

Directions

Sauté Aromatics: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cooking until golden and fragrant (about 10 minutes).
Wilt Spinach: Stir in crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt. Add spinach in batches, stirring each time until wilted (this will take 2-3 minutes per batch). Once all the spinach is in, season again lightly with salt.
Add Cream and Eggs: Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to coat the spinach evenly. Make 5 small wells in the spinach mixture and crack an egg into each. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt.
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest and freshly grated Parmesan. Enjoy this delicious dish and don’t forget to share it with your friends! Serve warm, straight from the skillet, for a rustic, hearty meal.
