  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190º Celsius).
  • Cook the spinach in a pot with a little water until it reduces completely, about 2 minutes.
  • Place over a strainer and drain, squeezing well to remove all the liquid.
  • In the pot where you cooked the spinach, add the onion and cook with a tablespoon of butter until it is translucent, then add the finely chopped garlic. Return the drained spinach and add the 2 tablespoons of cream. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Grease the soufflé molds (ramekins) with butter.
  • Divide the spinach among the soufflé molds and place the raw eggs on top (you can put 1 egg or 2 per mold). Bake for 15 minutes (if it’s one egg) or 18 minutes (if there are 2 eggs).
  • Prepare the hollandaise sauce. First, melt the 10 tablespoons of butter previously cut into pieces in a container in the microwave until they are ¾ melted (there should still be some chunks).
  • Place the two egg yolks in a blender, along with the lemon juice, a few drops of Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Blend well.
  • With the blender running, add the ¾ melted butter and let everything mix well. It should result in a thick and creamy sauce. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Remove the eggs from the oven and place a tablespoon of hollandaise sauce on each one.
  • Serve with toasted bread strips.
