Crack 4 large eggs into small bowls or ramekins, ensuring no shell pieces remain.

Heat heavy cream in a saucepan and grate garlic directly into the cream, bringing it to a simmer while watching to prevent boiling over.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet.

Add sliced shallot to the skillet and cook until tender and light golden.

Add thinly sliced prosciutto to the skillet and cook for a few seconds.

Add a large amount of fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, which may seem like too much but it cooks down significantly.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the spinach mixture.

Pour the garlic cream into the skillet with the spinach mixture.

Make 4 small nests in the spinach mixture using the back of a spoon.

Slide each egg into the nests you've created in the spinach mixture.

Sprinkle additional salt and black pepper over the top.

Grate a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over everything in the skillet.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 7 to 10 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

Serve the baked eggs piled on top of multigrain toast.
