Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and mix in cream cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Add water or milk if too thick.

Notes
Consider substituting cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter version and using only egg whites for a lower cholesterol option.
