Directions

1. Prep the Spinach
   Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
   Add the spinach to the boiling water and stir to wilt—just a few seconds.
   Use a slotted spoon to transfer spinach to the ice water bath.
   Drain, then twist in a clean kitchen towel to remove all moisture. Separate the clumps and set aside.
2. Cook the Creamy Base
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
   Add shallots and cook until soft and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
   Stir in garlic and ham; cook 1 minute more.
   Pour in the heavy cream and whisk in mustard, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
   Bring to a simmer, then whisk in Parmesan.
   Simmer until slightly thickened (2–3 minutes), then stir in spinach. Turn off heat.
3. Assemble and Bake
   Arrange four 8-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet.
   Divide the creamy spinach mixture among them.
   Use a spoon to make a small well in the center of each.
   Crack an egg into each well, season lightly with salt and pepper, and top with 1 tablespoon mozzarella.
   Bake until yolks are cooked to your liking and the tops are golden and bubbling, 15–20 minutes.
4. Finish and Serve
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
