Baked Eggs with Goat Cheese, Garlicky Spinach and Mushrooms

A flavorful and satisfying breakfast. A perfect way to get your greens in, your protein and so much more goodness at the start of the day. Eggs are a high quality source of protein and good fats, the important B-vitamins and many other minerals and with a high amount of choline (which is linked to the production of our “happiness” hormones), you will be set for a wonderful day.

Ingredients

(serves 2)

  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 2/3 cup chopped button mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 large eggs

  • Add the mushrooms and continue to stir fry for 3 – 4 minutes or until soft
  • Add the spinach and stir until wilted
  • Season with salt and pepper
  • Spoon the spinach / mushroom mixture into the ramekins
  • Crack one egg at the time into a small bowl and gently slide it into the ramekin, making sure to keep the yolk intact and in the center
  • Place pieces of the goat cheese on top of the egg whites
