This delicious and ridiculously easy recipe is a great way when you’re getting tired of the standard morning fare of scrambled or fried eggs. You can toss in a variety of veggies (tomatoes, arugula, pesto, etc) and variety of cheese (sharp, brie, Swiss) for an ultimately creamy and easy meal.
My 11 year old and I made this meal together and despite having creative differences – we still found the end result delicious. I forgot to grab eggs at the store, so we only had our Bantam chicken’s tiny eggs, and it threw off the cooking time slightly. If you’re using regular grocery store eggs, adjust the cooking time to 8-10 minutes for runny yolks.
The recipe is pretty basic and doesn’t need much explanation.
The ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 whipping cream
- 1-2 tablespoon chives
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
- 4 eggs
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- parsley for garnish
Turn oven onto 425. Sautee the butter over medium high heat in a 10-inch oven safe pan, then toss in the spinach and tomatoes. Stir until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are starting to sweat. Toss in the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese together and whisk until combined. Quickly crack the eggs into the cream mixture, top with bacon crumbles and remaining parmesan cheese, and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until they’ve set. Pull out, serve immediately, and enjoy with toasted bread!
