Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
• 1 Prise Salt
• 1 Prise Pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with a little olive oil.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
4. Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for about 2-3 minutes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes if using.
5. Transfer the tomato-spinach mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it evenly over the bottom.
6. Using a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture. Gently crack an egg into each well.
7. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese around the eggs and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
8. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (adjust baking time for firmer yolks).
10. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
