Spinach & Strawberry Creamed Eggs

I made this dish twice over the weekend, trying to capture a better picture than the one below… but some how hunger and impatience got in the way both times.

But I have to say (and please don’t take my word for… give it a try), that this is quite delicious and has an unexpected surprise inside: strawberries. So you get your protein, your veggies and your fruit all in one dish!
