Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by finely chopping the shallot and mincing the garlic. Coarsely chop the baby spinach to ensure it wilts evenly during cooking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eight large eggs, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted and bubbly, add chopped shallot and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add coarsely chopped spinach to the pan with sautéed shallots and garlic, seasoning with remaining ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir for about 1 minute until spinach wilts and becomes bright green.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan, swirling gently to coat the bottom. Allow to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until edges begin to set.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the eggs over themselves, breaking into large curds. Cook another 1-2 minutes until just about set but still slightly runny.
- Once eggs are almost fully cooked, pour in ½ cup of heavy cream and sprinkle remaining salt and pepper. If using, add nutmeg now. Stir gently to combine and warm through for 30 seconds.
- Gently spoon the creamed spinach scrambled eggs over thick slices of toast for an enjoyable breakfast experience.

Notes
Perfectly soft eggs: Remove the pan from heat just before the eggs are fully set for a creamy texture. Customize your greens and add cheese for extra flavor.
