And under 200 calories! Eggs are the best start to the day – protein, rather than a plate of carbs, will keep you feeling fuller for much longer and stop you feeling like you want to snack mid-morning. Plus, eggs are packed with vitamins – containing vitamin D, E & B12. These Basil & Tomato Baked Eggs are also great because they additionally pack in some iron rich spinach and vitamin C rich tomatoes."

Preparation Time5 min
Cooking Time10 min
Ingredients
- 50 grams spinach
- 4 picked basil leaves
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 220C / 430F
-
Roughly chop the spinach and place in a bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave for a few minutes to slightly wilt.
-
Transfer the spinach to an ovenproof shallow bowl. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and dot around the sides of the bowl. Tear the basil and scatter over the spinach and tomato.
-
Carefully crack the eggs into a small cup and then tip over the top of the mixture.
-
Place in the middle of the oven for around 10 minutes – until the egg whites are firm but the yolk still runny. They will have solidified a little on the top but don’t be perturbed! Top with some freshly ground black pepper.
