Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium-sized, finely chopped garlic cloves
- 1 small, finely chopped red onion
- 1 14-ounce can canned chopped tomatoes
- 5 cups, loosely packed baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 ripe, sliced (optional) avocado
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped garlic and onions to the skillet and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Gently stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, around 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and make four indentations in the tomato-spinach mixture with the back of a spoon.
Crack an egg into each indentation, being careful to keep the yolks intact.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves.
Serve immediately, optionally topped with sliced avocado for added creaminess.
