    • Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

    2. Set a large saute pan over high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add minced garlic then add spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 45-60 seconds until just wilted and drain on paper-towels to remove any excess moisture.

    3. Divide the spinach and roasted red peppers between two small gratin dishes (about 4 inches long). Arrange vegetables so there are 3 nestling spots for eggs. Crack an egg into each of the spots.

    4. Combine cream and harissa together in a small bowl. Drizzle harissa cream in and around each dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with pieces of goat cheese and season with paprika.

    5. Bake on a sheet tray in oven for 8-10 minutes until egg whites are cooked through but yolks are still soft. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

    You could substitute tomato sauce, or chopped tomatoes for the cream. I've made a similar dish with fresh, chopped tomatoes and garlic, cooked down for a few minutes in a skillet, and then added the eggs, some herbs and cheese, covered with a lid and finished cooking on the stove-

    The sad thing is, people who try to make a recipe eliminating ALL fat, for instance the cream and goat cheese is this recipe, will not give a good rating because the recipe won't be moist and will be devoid of flavor. The recipe seems sound the way it is.....don't change it!
    PS: Harissa is chile paste, or you can use any type chile paste that comes in a jar sold in most grocery stores.

    I didn't have all ingredients for this but improvised it. The harissa is a chilli paste and I used chilli garlic sauce in the orential section of store. I didn't have goat cheese so I used cheddar and italian blend cheese and it was delicious my hubby and nephew loved it~!!!!

    Harissa is traditionally made at home and consists of chilli peppers, which are soaked for a couple hours, and then pounded into a paste with coriander, caraway, garlic, and salt, and moistened with olive oil. Depending on the type of chili peppers you use, it can range from very hot to not quite so hot. It's used all over the Middle East as a flavoring for all kinds of dishes, but is particular popular in Morocco and Tunisia.

    Suggest Fat Free half and half for the cream - great calorie substitute. Regular or low fat cream cheese can be used for goat cheese.

    Very delicious dish, not too spicy hot, and pretty nutritious I would think.
