Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the baking dish:
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a baking dish. This will serve as the base layer and add a rich, tomato flavor to the eggs.
- Add the spinach:
- Evenly distribute the chopped spinach over the marinara sauce. The spinach adds a burst of color and a dose of nutrients to the dish.
- Crack the eggs:
- Carefully crack the eggs over the spinach, keeping them evenly spaced. This ensures that each serving contains a perfectly cooked egg.
- Add cheese and seasoning:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the eggs. Follow with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. These additions enhance the flavor profile and provide a melty, cheesy topping.
- Bake the eggs:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. The yolks should remain slightly runny for the best texture.
- Garnish and serve:
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve the Italian Baked Eggs warm for the best taste experience.
