Eggs In Spinach Nest Food

SUNKEN EGGS IN A SPINACH NEST

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in skillet or pot large enough to hold all the spinach. Cook onion until softened, add garlic, cook for another minute.
• 2. Leave a little water clinging to the spinach when you wash it! Add spinach and stir to combine with onion and garlic. Cover pot, lower heat and steam spinach until wilted -about 3 minutes. Stir occasionally. Stir in 2/3 of the milk, remove from heat. (If too liquid, keep on heat and stir until somewhat reduced.)
• 3. In an oven-proof dish, spray with Pam or similar, and spread out the sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the spinach mixture. Using a spoon, make 4 egg-sized indentations in the spinach. Carefully crack an egg into each indentation. Sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour the remaining milk over the spinach and add shredded cheese, being careful that the eggs are not covered.
• 4. Bake at 350ºF for 20-30 minutes, depending on how set you like your eggs. (NOTE: I baked mine for about 25 minutes and the eggs were completely cooked. If you like runny yolks, cook for less time.)

LEMONY EGG IN A SPINACH-CHICKPEA NEST

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the spinach along with a pinch of salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Add chickpeas and lemon zest. Carefully smash the chickpeas with a fork while combining the ingredients.
• With a wooden spoon, shape the mixture into a "wreath" with a hole in the middle. Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil into the hole, and then crack the egg into the hole.
• Cover pan with a lid and cook until egg has cooked through to desired doneness (for me, that's about 3 minutes).
• Use a large spatula to transfer the egg and "nest" to a plate. Some of the edges of the nest may fall off; just put it back into position on the plate.
• Top egg with a little additional salt and pepper, if desired, and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve.
