Scale

To create this nutritious and flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (or dairy-free cheese for a vegan option)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

Preparing baked eggs with spinach and tomatoes is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create a delightful meal:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your dish.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a baking dish, toss the fresh spinach and halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This step ensures that the vegetables are well-coated and seasoned.
  3. Bake the Vegetables: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
  4. Add the Eggs: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and crack the eggs over the spinach and tomatoes. This step requires a gentle touch to prevent the yolks from breaking.
  5. Sprinkle the Cheese: Evenly distribute the feta cheese (or dairy-free cheese) over the eggs and vegetables for a creamy and tangy flavor.
  6. Bake Again: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. You can adjust the baking time depending on whether you prefer runny or firm yolks.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once the eggs are cooked, remove the dish from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
