Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including the juices, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season the tomato sauce with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes, stirring well.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring to wilt the leaves into the sauce.
Using a spoon, create small wells in the tomato-spinach mixture and crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 7-10 minutes until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves.
Serve the braised eggs hot, accompanied by a Paleo-friendly side like roasted sweet potatoes or a mixed green salad.
