Ingredients
  • 4 Eggs
  • 150 g Fresh Spinach
  • 200 g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 100 g Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Prepare the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Wash the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Add the Eggs and Cheese

Create four wells in the spinach and tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Drizzle a bit of heavy cream over each egg (about 1/2 tbsp per egg). Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire skillet.

Bake

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

Serve

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional). Serve immediately.
