Instructions

In a small saucepan, add the eggs and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn off the heat and let sit 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and remove the whites (save for another use). Set the yolks aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, sweet, and lightly golden at the edges, 7–8 minutes. Add the vermouth, raise the heat to high, and simmer until the liquid is nearly evaporated, 1–2 minutes. Add the parsley, spinach, and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and cook, tossing with tongs, until the spinach is wilted and tender at the stem, 6–7 minutes.
Pour the cold cream into a bowl or storage container large enough to contain the spinach. Using tongs, shake off any excess liquid, then transfer the cooked spinach to the cream. (At this point you can refrigerate the spinach until ready to serve, up to 12 hours.)
Transfer the spinach mixture and nutmeg to a blender and process to a fine purée. Taste and add more salt or some black pepper as desired. (If the spinach mixture was refrigerated, reheat briefly in a saucepan before serving.)
Transfer the spinach to a medium serving bowl and crumble the yolks over the top. Serve immediately.
