Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs by placing them in a pot covered with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, then remove from heat and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
