Description

Quick spinach prep: just stem and wilt! Then, bake eggs in the spinach for a simple, delicious side.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp aleppo pepper
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 large bunches of spinach, stemmed
  • 4 eggs
  • Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 310°F (154°C).
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, aleppo pepper, and spinach; cook until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer to a baking dish (or use skillet if oven-safe; an 8-inch skillet is best unless using a lot of spinach).
  5. Crack each egg into a separate cup. Make wells in the spinach mixture and gently pour an egg into each well.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 310°F (154°C).
  7. Serve with Greek yogurt, if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the baking dish; this will ensure even cooking of the eggs.
  • For a richer flavor, use fresh garlic and sauté it until it’s fragrant before adding the spinach.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
