Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease four ramekins.
  2. Roll out puff pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles slightly larger than ramekins and press into greased ramekins.
  3. Line each shell with parchment and fill with pie weights. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden, then bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until crisp.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté shallot and garlic until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fill each pastry shell with spinach mixture, leaving space on top. Crack an egg over each shell and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Beat an egg for wash and brush edges of the pastry. Optionally sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
  7. Bake at 400°F for 12-18 minutes until yolks are set to your liking. Monitor closely for desired doneness.
  8. Remove from oven, cool slightly, garnish with chives, and serve warm.
