Wash the potatoes and boil them with the skin on for about 18 minutes, drain, rinse with cold water and let cool for 2 hours. Peel the potatoes and cut into thick slices. The potatoes should be tender, but may still have a firm core, so they shouldn’t be too soft. Thaw the frozen spinach. Do not drain the resulting liquid. Halve the onion, peel it, and dice it. Peel the garlic cloves and cut into thin slices. Slice the tomato. Finely grate the Pecorino and coarsely grate the Parmesan. Preheat the oven to 150°C (top heat only). Heat olive oil in a pan that can also be used in the oven and lightly fry the potato slices on both sides. Then add the diced onion and fry until browned. Then add the garlic slices. Lightly fry everything, turning carefully. If the potato slices fall apart a little, don’t worry. Season everything with salt and pepper. Spread the spinach over the potato and onion mixture. Do not stir again. Season the spinach with nutmeg, pepper, and a little salt. Place the tomato slices on top and season lightly with salt, pepper, and pizza seasoning. Reduce the heat slightly and sauté gently for about 4 minutes. In the meantime, whisk the eggs with 20g of pecorino and 1 tbsp of water. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it set slightly on the bottom. Then sprinkle the remaining pecorino and Parmesan on top. Place the pan in the upper part of the oven and let the eggs set on top as well. The mixture should be firm, but the cheese should not brown. This takes about 10 minutes. Remove the finished dish from the oven, season with pepper, and garnish with basil. The dish can also be served as an appetizer. This will serve 4 people.
