    I like to serve this with mixed fruit, a side of hash browns, or a healthy blueberry muffin. You can also serve it for dinner with crispy roasted potatoes and a fresh side salad. It's a great alternative to quiche if you're watching your calorie or carbohydrate intake, or if you're avoiding gluten or grains.

    Ingredients For Baked Eggs With Spinach

    You only need 7 simple ingredients to make this dish. Using the freshest ingredients possible will give you the best-tasting results, so here are some tips:

    • eggs: I prefer large pasture-raised
    • baby spinach: fresh, not frozen
    • tomato: I like fresh on the vine for the most flavor
    • onion: yellow is best for this recipe
    • extra virgin olive oil: for sautéing the vegetables and oiling the baking dish

    How To Make Baked Eggs With Spinach

    This recipe comes together in just a few easy steps and minimal effort. First, you'll sauté the vegetables. Then, you'll add your vegetables and eggs to a baking dish and bake until cooked through.

    Step 1: Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they begin to brown.

    Tips For Making Baked Eggs With Spinach

    • Use only fresh spinach, not frozen. If you absolutely must use frozen, drain it very well and press out all the water. Otherwise, your eggs will be watery and runny.
    • Use a serrated knife to cut your tomatoes. It's easier to cut through the skin this way!
    • Be sure to spray or oil your baking dish or the eggs will stick to the dish.
    • Don't overbake the dish or your eggs will be dry.
    • Be sure the middle is cooked through. You can use a steak knife to cut a small slit in the middle. If it comes out clean the eggs are done. They shouldn't be jiggly in the middle.
    • One slice of this takes about a minute and thirty seconds to reheat in my microwave. I recommend starting there then adding more time if needed. If you reheat them too long, the texture may become rubbery.

      When you double or triple the recipe. You still use just a half of a onion and a half of a tomato? And an 8x8 pan?

        If you double or triple the recipe you'll need to double or triple all of the ingredients in the recipe. An 8x8 pan will work if you double, but it you triple the recipe I would recommend a 9x13.
