1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
-
2
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat, then add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes.
-
3
Stir in the garlic and saute for an additional 30 seconds, then stir in the spinach and a pinch of salt and cook until wilted and tender, about another 30 seconds.
-
4
Remove from the heat and stir in the nutmeg.
-
5
Lightly grease 4 small ramekins with olive oil.
-
6
For each ramekin, spoon in one-fourth of the spinach mixture, then sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of the cheese.
-
7
Gently crack 1 egg on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the pepper and a pinch of salt over all 4 ramekins.
-
8
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until very little liquid remains and moves around when you shake the ramekins.
-
9
Let cool for 3 minutes, then run a knife or an offset spatula around the inside edge of each ramekin to loosen the eggs.
-
10
Using your knife or spatula to help support the eggs, carefully transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
-
11
To avoid a watery end product, make sure the spinach is well dried prior to adding it to the saute pan.
-
12
Spinach naturally gives off moisture when it cooks, so you dont want to add even more by cooking it when its wet.
-
13
A salad spinner works miracles on drying spinach quickly and efficiently.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Most people think dehydration only happens when youre walking, running, or sweating and dont drink enough water.
-
23
Actually, when youre in treatment, you can get dehydrated without moving a muscle.
-
24
Chemotherapy consumes protein like a V-8 Mustang goes through High-test gasoline.
-
25
When protein levels drop, fluids and nutrients get pulled out of the blood via osmosis (see, we knew high school biology would come in handy).
-
26
Dehydration can lead to fatigue, cramps, and worse.
-
27
Vegans and people on macrobiotic diets need to be especially careful to get enough protein during treatment.
