Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch nutmeg optional
For the Spinach
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large shallot finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach about 5 cups
For Serving
  • 4 thick slices toast such as a crusty rustic loaf or brioche

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, heavy cream, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach. Cook, stirring gently and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with toast.
