Baked Eggs with Spinach, Tomatoes and Garlic

An egg baked on a bed of spinach, tomatoes and garlic. Sounds so fancy and gourmet!!!

Welcome to the first Grow. Eat. $ave. post for 2011!  First up is spinach. And yes, this is a fancy and somewhat gourmet way to use up your spinach from the garden.

Create wells for the eggs, then crack 1 at a time into each well.

(This dish was the perfect size for 2 eggs.)

I’m using my toaster oven because it was 97 degrees here yesterday. And I had no intention of turning on my oven to bake these. This is a much cooler and energy efficient alternative!

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil ($.05)
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed ($.05)
• 10 oz. fresh spinach ($1.99 or from the garden)
• 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained ($.16)
• 2 Tbsp minced onion ($.10)
• 4 eggs ($.40)
• Salt and pepper
• Paprika, sprinkle as garnish
• Fresh fruit as side dish ($.50)
• Add this recipe to ZipList

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. To a large skillet or saucepan, add the olive oil and saute the garlic for a minute, before adding the spinach.  Toss the spinach around for a minute, then add the diced tomatoes.  Toss together and then add the minced onion.  Let simmer until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 5-7 minutes.
