Baked Spinach and Eggs
A low-carb, gluten-free breakfast dish that can keep you going for hours! Healthy and delicious and can be made in individual portions – Baked Spinach and Eggs with Feta Cheese.
Ingredients
- 6 cups firmly packed baby spinach or 10 oz bag fresh baby spinach, (frozen spinach is ok, too)
- 4 eggs, can increase to 6 if you are using more spinach
- Salt and freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp crumbled Feta Cheese, divided and adjust to taste
- Baking spray or a little oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray or grease with a little oil individual ramekins or other small oven safe dishes that can accommodate 1-2 eggs. Set aside.
- Place the spinach in a deep skillet or a large frying pan. Add a little water (2-3 Tablespoons). Using medium heat, cook the spinach just until wilted, roughly 3-4 minutes. Use either your hand or a spatula to pack in the spinach. Drain the excess water well especially if you are using frozen spinach.
- Distribute the spinach evenly among the prepared ramekins or oven-safe dishes.
- Crack 1-2 eggs on top of the spinach. Season lightly with salt and pepper because feta cheese is pretty salty on its own. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
- Place the baking dishes or ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the eggs are set/cooked (whites are set and yolks look firm on the edges) to your liking. I like mine well-done but some like eggs that are a little runny. Whatever you like as long as the eggs are susbtantially cooked inside, it’s fine.
- Serve with some toasted bread or rice on the side and tomato juice! A healthy breakfast that will keep you going for hours! Enjoy!
