Baked eggs with spinach and tomatoes #EBeggsfit

It is hard to believe we are creeping up on October's door, where has 2015 gone? Summer is officially over and while I am always sad to see it go, I cannot wait for some cooler temps in FL. Fall to me is the kick-off of my busy season and that is typically a hard time for me to stay focused on fitness and eating healthy. This is why simple, healthy meals are my best friend.

While I am marathon training, there are two items I try to sneak into my daily diet - spinach and eggs. Spinach is full of nitrates and is believed to help runners with speed and endurance. One egg fills 10% of your daily protein needs and the protein in eggs contain crucial amino acids to help promote recovery. Both are simple to add into various dishes but I love when they are together in one.

I combined fire roasted garlic diced tomatoes, fresh blanched spinach and an egg in an oven proof small dish and baked for 15 minutes. The result was exactly what I wanted.

Baked eggs with spinach and tomatoes:
2 Eggland's Best large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, blanched and water squeezed out of it
1 can diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted garlic)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, spray non-stick oil in two small oven proof dished. Place the spinach and tomatoes in the dish. Season however you like (think outside the box, Indian, Spanish, etc) and place a raw egg on top.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the egg white is no longer translucent.

Serve with crusty bread, Naan or pita bread.
