Cook onion for about 8 minutes until soft.

Grate a garlic clove and set aside.

Chop 2 to 3 handfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves.

Add about a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if the onions look dry.

Once the onions are golden and soft, add the grated garlic and warm it through for a few seconds.

Add chopped spinach in batches, seasoning with freshly ground black pepper as it wilts down.

Once the spinach has wilted, crumble feta cheese over the top.

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and a pinch of nutmeg.

Season lightly with salt and more black pepper.

Make two wells in the mixture and crack eggs into each well, seasoning with a little salt.

Cover the pan and reduce heat to low, cooking eggs for about 4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny.

Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for color and heat, if desired.
