Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Using a spoon, make four wells in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the eggs cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot, garnishing with additional basil if desired.
