Ridiculously Easy Eggs and Spinach in Tomato Sauce



This is healthy meal made with only three ingredients; no cutting, no chopping (well, a little bit of chopping), and not much fussing about. I have to confess that the star of this dish comes from a can, so the healthy part might be compromised, I know. Oh, but it's organic, Ha! And please give yourself a break and just try it. I promise you will not be disappointed.


The canned ingredient is Dice & Fire Roasted Organic Tomatoes with organic green chiles from Trader Joe's. The only spice you might need to add to this dish is salt over the eggs and this depends on your taste buds or dietary restrictions.  

You will need a frying pan or saucepan that can go in the oven.

This is a dish that can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Grand, isn't it?

what you need:
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Trader Joe's Dice & Fire Roasted Organic Tomatoes with organic green chiles
  • 2 cups finely chopped spinach
  • 4 large eggs
Note: You will also need a pan that can be transferred from the stove top to the oven.

Serves 2. 

what you do:


Preheat the oven to 400F.
Chop the spinach.



Place the diced tomatoes in a  pan and let it boil.


Add the spinach. 
In the beginning it might look like it is too much but the spinach will wilt.

Carefully mix the spinach and the cubed tomatoes until the spinach is wilted and blended with the tomatoes.


Make a small pool in the tomato/spinach blend with a spatula.


Place one of the eggs in the space created.

Do the same three more times until all eggs are in the pan.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Let the eggs cook a bit. About 1 to 2 minutes.


Place the pan in the preheated oven until the eggs are to your liking. This can take from 5 to 8 minutes. 

It depends on how firm you like your eggs.

Serve immediately.











Serve with rice or fresh baguette.
