Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the spinach into a colander, then pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt the leaves. Squeeze out excess water and divide between 4 small ovenproof dishes.
  2. Mix the tomatoes with the chilli flakes and some seasoning, then add to the dishes with the spinach. Make a small well in the centre of each and crack in an egg. Bake for 12-15 mins or more depending on how you like your eggs. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

    This recipe reminds me of a tapas restaurant I once went. It is so delicious!! Seasoned it with some salt, pepper and some sweet paprika to give it an even more yummy taste. For added taste some melted mozzarella would be great too.

    Really loved this recipe and makes a lovely winter lunch. Even better with some added prosciutto and a little grated parmesan!

    I've just had this for my breakfast and it is a great, quick and easy recipe. I cooked some chorizo and onion first then added the chopped tomatoes and added the spinach to wilt it. Then transferred it to a small oven dish and made a well for my egg. I seasoned my egg with salt and pepper and then popped it in the oven on the recommended temp for 15 mins....mmmm yummy
