Baked eggs with spinach and tomato is a wholesome and delicious recipe that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Packed with nutrients from spinach and tomatoes, and complemented by the rich taste of eggs and parmesan cheese, this dish is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish or four individual ramekins with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Wash and dice the tomato.
- Rinse and roughly chop the spinach.
- Grate the parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the spinach.
- Cook the spinach for about 2-3 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and drain any excess liquid from the spinach.
- Distribute the cooked spinach evenly in the baking dish or ramekins.
- Spread the diced tomato over the spinach layer.
- Sprinkle the salt and ground nutmeg evenly over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top.
- Create four small indentations in the vegetable mixture (if using a single baking dish).
- Carefully crack one egg into each indentation. If using individual ramekins, crack one egg into each ramekin over the mixed vegetables.
- Place the baking dish or ramekins in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- For slightly runny yolks, bake for closer to 12 minutes.
- For firmer yolks, bake for a bit longer.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for a minute to cool slightly.
- Serve the baked eggs with some crusty bread or your favorite side for a complete meal. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture, but if you only have frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly to remove excess water.
- Season the spinach and tomatoes well to enhance their natural flavors.
- Consider adding some herbs like basil or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.
- Monitor the eggs closely while baking to achieve your preferred level of doneness—slightly runny for a soft texture or fully set for a more firm bite.
Baked eggs with spinach and tomato is a delightful dish that combines simple ingredients to create a nutrient-packed meal. Whether you're serving it fresh out of the oven for breakfast or enjoying it as a quick, healthy dinner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
