Recipe Ingredient
- 2tbsp creme fraiche (at room temperature)
- 2tbsp Parmesan (freshly grated)
- 1/4tsp lemon zest
- salt (Kosher)
- black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2tbsp butter (unsalted)
- 1 zucchini (cut into 1cm dice (2 cups))
- 2cups fresh baby spinach (washed and dried, stems removed)
- 4 large or 5 medium eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a small bowl, mix together the crème fraiche, Parmesan and lemon zest. Sprinkle with black pepper and set aside.
- In an 8-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper and sauté until the zucchini softens and develops some color, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook long enough for the spinach to wilt.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper and give them a good whisk in a medium bowl. Add the eggs to the spinach mixture and, using a wooden spoon, pull the set eggs from the edge of the skillet into the center and allow the bottom to set.
- Spoon the crème fraiche mixture on top of the eggs and pop the skillet in the oven. Bake until puffed and golden, about 8 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges.
