Baked Egg with Spinach and Tomato




I am hooked on baked eggs, they are so good can't believe it was taken me this long to make them. I think I read about them on a blog and went to bed thinking about them, I remember reading something along the lines of the eggs, bake while the coffee brews :-) 

So I got up that Sunday morning on a mission to make them this recipe is inspired from the BBC good food site. Its easy to do and really makes breakfast special. It's also good for brunch or even lunch, I made a mushroom one the other day!, its funny as when I shared the picture on the chow and chatter facebook page Erin commented that I am hooked, she's right :-)


Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs or how ever many you would like
  • ramekins, I am also told they can be made in a muffin pan
  • one cup of spinach
  • 2 cloves of chopped garlic
  • olive oil
  • one tablespoon of butter
  • 5 cherry tomatoes chopped
Method:

  1. saute the spinach in olive oil with the garlic until cooked
  2. add a little butter to the bottom of the ramekin and add the spinach and a couple of chopped tomatoes
  3. break the egg into the ramekin with a little butter on the top
  4. and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until cooked with the egg yolk slightly runny for dipping :-)
  5. enjoy straight away with hot toast and coffee


Is there a new recipe your hooked on at the moment?

  1. I love baked eggs, especially if we have a crowd of people for breakfast. Everyone gets to eat freshly cooked hot eggs all at the same time.

    This egg looks delicious! I like the toast too.

  9. Baked eggs are a Sunday ritual around here. I love using vegetables - and eggs and tomatoes have always appealed to me! As I look at your photo, I am thinking - why wait until Sunday?

  27. YUM! i have seen this before but never tried it. this inspired me. and i love one commenter's idea that everyone can eat at the same time. with everyone in my family wanting an egg cooked a different way, i usually end up eating alone after everyone else is done. :) so i'm going to try this and see if everyone will go for it and we can eat together! xoxo

  30. Yum -- I'll have to try this one as well! I have done baked eggs before in more of a "comfort food" recipe involving hashbrowns, onion, and red bell pepper. It's something I like to make for myself when my husband and kids are out of town visiting with his family or going to a football game.
