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.

Didn't really stick to the recipe after reading previous comments. Instead fried 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic then added 2x400g tins of tomatoes and some dried herbs and left to reduce slightly. Meanwhile grilled some bacon and chopped some olives before adding to tomato mixture which was then poured over non-wilted spinach. Simply added the eggs and cooked. Served with a bit of tabasco. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!
