Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including the juice, and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the spinach, salt, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and use a spoon to make four shallow wells in the tomato mixture.

Step 7

Crack an egg into each well, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with crusty bread or over a bed of cooked grains for a complete meal.
