Baked Eggs in Ricotta Parmesan Creamed Spinach Ingredients: 5–6 large eggs 3 cups baby spinach 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup shallots, finely diced 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes 1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Toast for serving Optional: Smoked salmon and extra red chili flakes Directions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare ingredients by mincing garlic, dicing shallots, and setting aside the spinach for quick assembly. Heat a 10-inch oven-safe pan over medium heat and melt the butter. When almost melted, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in shallots, herbs de Provence, and chili flakes, tossing to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes. Add spinach, tossing to wilt, about 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, allowing the cream to bubble and thicken for 5 minutes. Stir in ricotta, Parmesan, and lemon juice, letting the cheeses melt together for about 2 minutes. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, then transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the egg whites have set. Serve immediately with toast, adding smoked salmon and extra red chili flakes for added flavor, if desired.
