Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 cups Baby spinach
• 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.

Step 4

Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the canned crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Using a spoon, make four wells in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the eggs cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.

Step 8

Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnishing with additional basil if desired.
