Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including the juice, and bring to a simmer.
Add the spinach, salt, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and use a spoon to make four shallow wells in the tomato mixture.
Crack an egg into each well, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny, depending on your preference.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or over a bed of cooked grains for a complete meal.
