Ingredients
- 6 cups firmly packed baby spinach or 1 (10 oz or up to 1 lb) bag fresh baby spinach*
- 4 eggs (can increase to 6 if you are using more spinach)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese for 1-2 eggs (about 2-3 tbps in total)
- baking spray or a little oil for greasing
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray or grease with a little oil individual ramekins or other small oven safe dishes that can accomodate 1-2 eggs. See photo above. 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 - lightly 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 substantially cooked inside, it's fine.
- Serve with some toasted bread or rice on the side and tomato juice.
