Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion and sauté until soft, around 5 minutes. Mix in 2 chopped spring onions, cooking until golden, about another 3 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of frozen chopped spinach and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley, sauté until moisture evaporates, around 5–7 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the drained spinach mixture with 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of extra sharp cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of ground nutmeg, white pepper, and sea salt, mixing thoroughly.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry to fit a 9-inch tart pan, about ⅛ inch thick.
- Spoon the spinach and cheese filling into the lined tart pan, smoothing it out evenly. Create small wells for the eggs.
- Crack 4 medium eggs into the prepared wells. Roll out a second sheet of puff pastry to cover completely, sealing well and cutting small slits for steam.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the baking sheet for about 35 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Squeeze out excess liquid from the spinach to prevent a soggy crust. Allow the pie to cool for easier slicing. Cut slits in the top pastry to let steam escape. Evenly space the eggs for presentation. Use a preheated baking sheet to catch drips.
