Baked Eggs with Spinach
Baked Eggs with SpinachCrazy Spring weather we are having… it’s hot, cold, warm, cold again! Today there’s a slight chill in the air and the wind is whistling through my windows. More baked breakfast recipes I love to make when the weather is cool are Spinach Ricotta Quiche, Breakfast Pizza and Asparagus Pancetta Potato Hash.
Variations:
- Cheese: If you don’t have Asagio cheese you can use Parmesan cheese or even feta cheese.
- Greens: You can use any leafy green vegetable you desire, kale or chard would also make great options. I’ve also used frozen organic spinach in a pinch and it works out just fine.
- Stove top version: If you want to do this all on the stove, you can easily make 4 wells in the wilted spinach in a large pan and drop the eggs into each one, then cover and cook on low until the eggs are set.
