1 clove of garlic, minced
4 cups loosely packed baby spinach
Extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips
6 large eggs
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Saute for 45-60 seconds until just wilted and drain on paper-towels to remove any excess moisture. 3. Divide the spinach and roasted red peppers between two small gratin dishes (about 4 inches long). Arrange vegetables so there are 3 nestling spots for eggs. Crack an egg into each of the spots. 4. Combine cream and harissa together in a small bowl. Drizzle harissa cream in and around each dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with pieces of goat cheese and season with paprika. 5.
