3- Cool your eggs a little then shell them by rolling them.
4- In a sauté pan melt your butter until it turns brown butter then pour your spinach salt and pepper and let them wilt covered like this.
5- In a saucepan pour the cream salt(lightly) pepper and add a zest of nutmeg bring to boil add 40 g of parmesan stir with a whisk and turn off the heat.

Gratinee your dish in the oven on Grill setting and serve hot.
You will be able to observe that to prepare this recipe I have evolved a few classic dogmas.
The eggs are cooked 5 minutes instead of 6 because they will continue to cook while gratineeing.
On the other hand I made the spinach "fall" in brown butter instead of cooking it in water finally I completed with a Parmesan cream instead of the classic Béchamel to lighten this pretty convivial dish a little.
