Ingredients
- 4 large fresh eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (chives, parsley, or basil), optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish (or two ramekins).
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add halved cherry or grape tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add fresh spinach and stir until completely wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to Dish: Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish(es).
- Create Wells: Using the back of a spoon, create 4 small indentations or ‘wells’ in the vegetable mixture, spaced evenly apart.
- Crack Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each well. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the eggs and vegetables.
- Bake: Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness (12-14 minutes for runny yolks, 16-18 minutes for medium-set yolks).
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast.
