First up is spinach.

Create wells for the eggs, then crack 1 at a time into each well.

Baked Eggs with Spinach, Tomatoes and Garlic

Yield – 4 servings
Preparation Time – 15 minutes
Cooking Time – 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 10 oz. fresh spinach
• 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
• 2 Tbsp minced onion
• 4 eggs
• Salt and pepper
• Paprika, sprinkle as garnish
• Fresh fruit as side dish

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350.
• To a large skillet or saucepan, add the olive oil and saute the garlic for a minute, before adding the spinach.  Toss the spinach around for a minute, then add the diced tomatoes.  Toss together and then add the minced onion.  Let simmer until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 5-7 minutes.
• Place the sauteed spinach into an ovenproof, creating divets for the eggs.  Crack 1 egg into each hole.
• Bake the spinach and eggs for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until egg whites have turned white.
• Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper and paprika.
• Serve with fresh fruit for a well balanced breakfast!
