Spinach under eggs is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of greens and the rich flavor of melted cheese with a hint of spice. It originated as a simple rustic dish where fresh spinach, rich in vitamins, was the foundation of healthy eating. An egg baked to perfection adds richness and creamy texture, while parmesan gives a savory saltiness. This dish is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner and can be served as a standalone treat or as a side to meat dishes. Its delicate flavor and simplicity of preparation make it a favorite among health food enthusiasts and gourmets, while the contrast of soft spinach, crispy cheese, and creamy egg creates a harmony of tastes.
