Baked Eggs With Spinach And Smoked Salmon Recipe

Eggs for breakfast can be pretty utilitarian – bulk-cooked frittatas, a super-fast omelet before you run out the door – but they can also be classy and even elegant, and this recipe is an example of the latter.

A pile of wilted spinach makes a beautiful backdrop for a baked egg, and the pale pink salmon is a beautiful addition to the plate and also adds some serious flavor.

Making this in individual dishes gives you a chance to play around with the presentation even more; you could do smaller cast-iron pans for a more rustic look, go with Pyrex for something a little more modern, or experiment with a variety of colors to create an interesting visual effect for the whole table.

Don’t skimp on the spinach: once it’s on the stove, a huge pile of raw spinach wilts down to an amazingly small amount of cooked leaves.

And with one of the most nutritious vegetables around, there’s no point in shorting yourself. Try this for a beautiful brunch on the weekend – it’s definitely a lot nicer than bagels.
