Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh spinach
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 small Onion
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the spinach. Set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic and the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes (whole or halved) to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften and release juices.
Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring each batch until wilted.
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Create four small wells in the spinach mixture and crack one egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Adjust time based on your preferred egg doneness.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan over the top before serving.
Serve hot in the skillet or carefully transfer to bowls. Pair with crusty bread or toast if desired.
