Ingredients
Scale
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (sliced thin)
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 lemon (juice)

Instructions
- Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes, then cool them in ice water.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.
