Fluffy Egg Nest with Greens

Recipe Description:

This is a fun way to eat eggs and makes a great dinner or lunch dish. The yolk is nestled in a bed of fluffy beaten egg whites with greens.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Servings: 4 servings

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

4 pastured eggs

5 teaspoons grass fed butter, divided

4 teaspoons heavy cream (preferably raw, not ultra-pasteurized)

2 cups of spinach or other tender green, finely chopped

1/2 onion, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt, plus a little more

dash of cayenne pepper

Recipe Instructions:

Heat a small cast iron pan on low and add 1 teaspoon of butter. Add the chopped onion and saute for 1-3 minutes until translucent. Set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Separate the eggs and beat the whites with the salt until they are fluffy and stiff, but not dry. Gently fold in the cayenne pepper, chopped greens and sauteed onions.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spoon out the egg white mixture into 4 mounds on the parchment paper. Use the back of the spoon to create small dents in the center of each mound.

Put 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 egg yolk into each dent. Top each yolk with 1 teaspoon of cream and sprinkle with additional salt.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are golden and the yolks slightly set.
