Ingredients

To Serve

  • 1 Sprig parsley fresh
  • 3 Tablespoons yogurt plain

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Chop the onion and bell pepper.
  • Heat a skillet with some olive oil on medium-high, then add the onions and peppers and brown for 5 minutes.
  • Add the beans, garlic, and spices and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the spinach.
  • Carefully add the eggs, so the yolks don’t break.
  • Cook in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the whites are opaque.
  • Serve with yogurt and fresh parsley.

Notes

Use a large skillet: Gives room for the eggs to cook evenly.
Stainless steel is best: Tomatoes are acidic, which means they can react with the seasoning on a cast iron pan.
Don’t skip draining: Make sure spinach isn’t too wet to avoid watering down the sauce.
Crack eggs carefully: Pour them in gently so the yolks stay whole.
Watch the oven: Remove as soon as whites are opaque to avoid overcooking.
