Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Baked Eggs on Spinach with Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  4. Pour the tomato sauce over the sautéed spinach, spreading it evenly.
  5. Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the spinach and sauce mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
  6. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if using. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For creamier yolks, keep an eye on the baking time and adjust according to how runny you prefer them.
  • Use fresh, high-quality tomato sauce for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to sauté other vegetables like bell peppers or onions along with the spinach for added texture and flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out spinach for kale or Swiss chard for a different green.
  • Add crumbled feta or shredded cheese on top before baking for extra creaminess.
  • Spice things up by adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the tomato sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • Toasted crusty bread or pita for dipping.
  • A side of fresh fruit for a sweet balance.
  • A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10 minutes.
