Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Baked Eggs Florentine
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Spread the sautéed spinach evenly across the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Create small wells in the spinach for the eggs.
  5. Crack an egg into each well you've created in the spinach. Pour a tablespoon of cream over each egg.
  6. Sprinkle cheese over the top, ensuring every egg is covered.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on the eggs until the whites are set and yolks remain slightly runny.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
