    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

    100g spinach between four people? 400g spinach, 400g tomato, 4 eggs would be better. After wilting the spinach it hardly covered the dish bottom, and was drowned in tomato. Also, draining the tomatoes before adding would be useful. A good recipe with some small adjustments.

    Mmmm. Just made this in a slightly larger dish with two eggs instead of one. I didn't drain the tomatoes as I liked the jucie at the bottom and mopped it up with a wholemeal pitta. I didn't have chilli flakes so added a small dribble of chilli oil instead which was fine. It's quite plain so next time I'd probably add some herbs or onion for more of a kick. Nice and filling though, looks good, cheap and easy to make. Thanks!

    very nice dish, however sliced fresh tomatoes i think taste nicer and then you don't need to wilt and drain the spinach and lose all the healthiest ingredients within!

    This is truly a wonderful dish. The eggs do take longer than stated, if you don't like runny whites. We add paprika, seasoning, black olives and capers to the spinach/tomato, and put goat's cheese or buffalo mozzarella on top, and serve with smoked salmon or chorizo. This really tastes like a guilty pleasure dish rather than something extremely healthy and nutritious! Next time will have some nice wholemeal bread to mop up the lovely tomatoey cheesy juices.

    This has ended up being our Sunday morning breakfast in bed. Now, I drain all the juice from the tomatoes and don't bother wilting the Spinach as the oven does that for you. Add an oxo to the tomato too, truly delish.

    Really good, but needed a bit more of the veg. To the tomatoes i crushed some garlic and added oregano and lots of ground pepper. Also we left the eggs just a little too long and the yolks hardened, otherwise would definitely make again

    Tried this yesterday to use up home grown spinach that seems to grow as soon as I pick it at the moment! Eaten with hot, cheese topped, crusty bread it is delicious.

    Made this for supper last night. Used a tin of crushed tomatoes and 4 large fresh ones, added some crushed garlic, chopped cooked bacon, and tweaked it a bit for everyones preference. Served with fresh soda bread, it was lovely. I'll definitely make again.
