Nestled eggs

These baked eggs are similar to poached eggs. Use whole grain bread or bread with seeds such as sunflower to give this dish a little texture.  Add a glass of juice for a well balanced breakfast.

Ingredients

1 t cumin (ground cumin)
6 clv garlic (peeled and sliced thin)
1 onion (red onion, peeled, sliced thin)
1 pepper (bell pepper, orange, cored, seeded and sliced thin)
2 potato (Russet potatoes, cut into small cubes)
1⁄2 t salt
1⁄4 t black pepper
6 c baby spinach (rinsed)
4 egg (large)
4 sli bread (whole grain bread, thick slices)

Instructions

Adjust the oven temperature to 450º F allowing the oven to preheat. Lightly spray the inside and the lid of a cast iron Dutch oven.

Spread the cumin seeds over the entire bottom of the pan. Scatter the garlic over the cumin seeds then add the onion, bell pepper and then the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top.

Place the baby spinach into the pan and make 4 wells to hold each egg. Carefully break the eggs into the well leaving the yolk intact.  Lay a slice of bread over the top of each well.

Cover and bake 32 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

Its okay if part of the eggs leak out of the wells they will still be nestled inside the wells.
