Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the spinach into a colander, then pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt the leaves. Squeeze out excess water and divide between 4 small ovenproof dishes.

  • step 2

    Mix the tomatoes with the chilli flakes and some seasoning, then add to the dishes with the spinach. Make a small well in the centre of each and crack in an egg. Bake for 12-15 mins or more depending on how you like your eggs. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

I read the recipe, thought, this will taste mostly of tinned tomatoes. But I told myself I should trust the source, so I didn't cook the tomatoes with olive oil, oregano, a little sugar, etc, as I normally would. I put them in the dish straight from the tin, as instructed. And left the spinach…
