the toasted sandwich thins on
four plates. Divide spinach among
bottoms of sandwich thins. Top
each with two of the tomato
slices, an egg and a little of the

thin halves and serve.

BAKED EGGS
PREP TIME: 20 MINS
COOK TIME: 20 MINS
SERVES 4 (AS A BREAKFAST
OR LIGHT MEAL)

1 egg tomato, finely chopped
1 green shallot, finely chopped
1 Tbsp chopped coriander
1 tsp finely chopped green chilli
1 tsp fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper
4 egg whites (from 60g eggs)
4 x 60g eggs

4 Tbsp skim milk
2 Tbsp finely shredded^
reduced-fat cheese
2 slices multigrain toast
or gluten-free bread,
per person, to serve

1 Preheat oven to 150°C (fan-
forced). Spray 4 x 250ml (1 cup)
ovenproof ramekins with
cooking spray.
2 Combine the tomato, shallot,
coriander, chilli and lime juice in
a small bowl. Season with
pepper. Toss to combine.
3 Place one egg white in each
ramekin. Top each with a whole
egg, positioning the yolk in the
centre of the ramekin. Add 1 Tbsp
milk to each ramekin. Top with
black pepper and then sprinkle
with cheese. Place the ramekins
on a baking tray. Bake eggs for
16-18 minutes or until the eggs

4 Top the baked eggs with
the tomato mixture and serve
with bread or toast.

Baked eggs

Cook a big batch of
eggs on the weekend
for an excellent quick
snack, egg salad
sandwich, or salad
topper during the week.

1


Bring a small saucepan
of water to a gentle
simmer over medium-
high heat. Carefully add
6 room-temperature eggs
and return to a gentle
simmer over medium
heat, stirring often to
allow the yolk to stay
in the centre of the egg.

2


Simmer for
4 minutes for a
soft boiled (runny)
egg or 5-6 minutes
for a hard-boiled egg.

3


Remove eggs with
a slotted spoon and
set aside to cool. Once
cool, store in the fridge
or peel and eat. ■
