Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 can crushed tomatoes
• 1 can artichoke heart (drained, quartered)
• 8 ounce fresh spinach
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
• 6 eggs (large)
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes, quartered artichoke hearts, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, red pepper flakes (if using), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Stir in the fresh spinach and ground flaxseed until the spinach is wilted and the mixture slightly thickens, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper as needed.
4. Make 6 wells in the tomato mixture. Carefully crack one large egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
5. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve directly from the skillet.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is oven-safe if you prefer to finish the eggs in the oven for a more even cook. Simply transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F oven after adding the eggs, and bake until set.
