Description
This pantry-powered dish brings together the decadence of creamed spinach with the comfort of baked eggs. Big flavor with little effort, this recipe requires no chopping and just a handful of staple ingredients: Frozen spinach is combined with cream cheese and garlic powder to create a wonderfully aromatic and silky base for the eggs to nestle and steam within. Covering the eggs while they cook will give you irresistibly soft whites and gooey yolks. If you’d like a little spice, finish with some red-pepper flakes or chile oil.
Ingredients
(one per line)
Extra-virgin olive oil 2(10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, preferably thawed 1teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 or 2 garlic cloves, grated) Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper 1(8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature 4large eggs Sourdough toast or crusty bread, for serving
Directions
Heat a medium (10-inch) well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick skillet on medium-high. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the spinach. Cover with a lid and cook until it is soft enough to break apart; this should take 2 to 3 minutes if it’s thawed and about 5 to 8 minutes if it’s still frozen. Remove the lid and stir to break up the spinach and cook uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated but it’s not completely dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and about 1 teaspoon black pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Add the cream cheese and stir well until combined. Cook for 2 minutes until the mixture is warmed through. Make a divot for each egg and pour a little olive oil into the hole before adding the egg. (This is easiest to do one divot at a time.) Once you have added all the eggs, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until whites are just set and yolks are cooked to your liking. To serve, drizzle with olive oil and eat immediately, with bread.
