Hector Manuel Sanchez
Serves 4 Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 35m

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 2 bunches spinach (about 1 pound), trimmed
  • 8 eggs, separated (yolks kept whole, if possible)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400° F.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, 1 minute. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
  3. Beat the egg whites until foamy, about 30 seconds, then pour them over the spinach mixture. Carefully place the whole yolks over the top.
  4. Bake until the whites are set, 20 to 22 minutes. Divide among individual plates. Add dollops of the cream cheese, if desired.

Quick Tip

To separate an egg, crack the shell in half. Transfer the yolk back and forth between halves, letting all the white slip out into the bowl.
