Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs

Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs has everything you need for an awesome breakfast. We've got leafy greens, gooey cheese, tender eggs, a crunchy top, and ciabatta toast. It's absolutely awesome.

For me, a good spell has layers. First layers of energy and meaning. Yes, there's a tangible goal, but there's also the reasons behind it. There's the transformation of how you feel now, why you want the thing, and who you will be when you have it. There are layers of energy that you rise through as the intention manifests. And of course, there can be layers of materials used to create your spell.

And this is why kitchen witchcraft is so powerful. You can create a nuanced and layered spell as you add each ingredient. You can make a dish with a certain intention, give emphasis to certain ingredients, and sprinkle in all the energies you'll need to manifest your goal. It's ideal, really. Not to mention freakin' delicious.

What makes Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs so awesome?

Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs is layer upon layer of awesomeness. Starting with a bed of fresh spinach, then plenty of shredded cheese. Next we've got tender eggs baked in rich cream, then a bit more cheese. And when it comes out of the oven, the whole thing gets covered in a crunchy bread crumb layer flavored with dried herbs. When you excavate this dish with a stick of toasted ciabatta, you get one flavorful treasure after another.

This can be made super easily for one person or expanded to as many people as you need to feed. You just need a ramekin for each serving. And eggs are obvious for breakfast, but I would happily eat this anytime of day. I'm thinking a spring brunch gathering would be ideal. But really, there's no wrong time for this dish.

Magical Properties of Spinach

With its rich green color, spinach is excellent for connecting with the heart chakra and creating an inner child connection. It's also ruled by Jupiter, making it excellent in prosperity and wealth spells. It carries earthy feminine energy and can be used to call in love, strength, taking action, endurance, cleansing, passion, and fertility.

Tips for making Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs

You can easily make multiples of this by creating an assembly line. I've also given measurements, but you can totally eyeball it. Start by filling your ramekins with spinach. It will take up a lot of space at first, but it will cook down to create plenty of space. Then sprinkl in some cheese. Carefully crack your eggs into their spinach and cheese bed, then season them with salt and pepper. Pour the cream over, add another sprinkle of cheese (because cheese is awesome), then bake them in the oven until the whites are set. Obviously, the longer you bake, the more cooked your yolks will be, so do what you like.

While the eggs are baking, add your butter and garlic to a small skillet to melt and infuse with the garlic, then add your breadcrumbs to the melted butter as well as the dried herbs, and toss them in the butter until they're toasty and crunchy. Then set that aside until your baked eggs come out of the oven. Sprinkle the crunchy breadcrumbs over the top of each dish.

You might also want to put someone on toast duty. Just use your toaster to get your ciabatta bread to your desired crunch level. Slice it into fingers, pile it on a plate, and use it as a delicious fork.

I can't wait for you to try these Spinach & Cheese Baked Eggs. It's layer upon layer of deliciousness, and that's definitely awesome.
