How to Build Your Own Green Egg
- 1). Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2). Heat the olive oil and butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots or onion and let them sweat for a couple minutes.
- 3). Stir in the spinach and cream, then add a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add the nutmeg. Continue to stir the mixture until the spinach is cooked and the cream has thickened up a bit, around 4 to 5 minutes.
- 4). Spoon a generous tablespoon of the cooked spinach into each muffin tin cup. Crack an egg into each cup. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Add a couple drops of green food coloring on top of each egg.
- 5). Bake the eggs in the oven until the yolks are set, around 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the baked eggs to cool in the muffin cups.
- 6). Remove the eggs from muffin cups with a small spatula. Put each egg on a plate to serve. Serve with the buttered toasts if desired.
