Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and toss for 1 min to soften.

  2. Remove from the heat, add the spinach leaves and basil, and toss together to wilt a little. Transfer all the ingredients to a greased 30cm x 20cm rectangular baking tin. Take small scoops of the ricotta and dot over the vegetables.

  3. Season the eggs and beat well, then pour over the vegetables and cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until pale golden and set. Serve with salad.

I too think that it's good but needs a bit of a kick as it wasn't as flavourful as i thought it would be. A bit too eggy perhaps, so next time will add some nutmeg to the spinach, add more onion, and whilst i liked the ricotta, i might add some pesto to it. The feta and sundried tomatoes combination sounds good too!

Easy and delicious. Make this as a Sunday Brunch for the family with a green salad w/ honey vinagrette.

Made this tonight as it looked yummy! It tasted fab but I changed a few things. I added chorizo and used mozzarella instead of ricotta. I also used a lot of seasoning for the egg but it still didn't overpower the dish!

A lovely recipe and very easy to make. I read the previous comments and took on board everything said, therefore I swapped ricotta for feta (as that's all I had), roasted the toms, cooked in chili oil to add a little heat, wilted the spinach in a pan then placed in the bottom of the dish, I also added mushrooms. It was very tasty and I shall definitely be cooking this again. Thank you :-)

Made as a starter tonight. Nice but would maybe try a stronger cheese next time.

Mmm.. I'm now thinking Prosciutto would compliment this better than Chorizo!
