Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Step 2: Add 2 cups fresh spinach to the skillet and toss with tongs until fully wilted and reduced to about 1 cup, approximately 2 minutes.
- Step 3: Whisk 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Step 4: Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet, then sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Step 5: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is just set and edges are golden brown, with a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
