Description

A simple and satisfying dish featuring bright wilted spinach topped with gently baked eggs and cheese, perfect for busy mornings or light dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 68 cups packed fresh spinach (about 6 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté the olive oil and garlic in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Make four small wells in the spinach.
  6. Crack one egg into each well.
  7. Spoon heavy cream or milk over the whites if desired.

Notes
