These savoury baked eggs make a tasty starter or a light brunch just served with hot buttered toast. They're really nutritious as they're packed with protein and iron. The cream makes it rich but if you wanted to save a few calories, you could just use milk.

You can vary this recipe by using char-grilled red peppers (from a jar) or fried mushrooms. Or, you could also add a little snipped fried bacon or ham too. They also work well as a weekend breakfast.

We reckon the kids will love them as much as you do and it's a great, sneaky way to get some greens into their diet!

Make sure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the spinach so that the mixture isn’t too wet.
