A hearty and flavorful Italian breakfast featuring baked eggs nestled in a bed of tomatoes, spinach, and creamy ricotta cheese.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in diced tomatoes, spinach, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese evenly over the tomato-spinach mixture.
Using the back of a spoon, create four wells in the mixture, one for each egg.
Crack an egg into each well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny (or cooked to your liking).
Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese (optional) before serving.

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the mixture to a baking dish before adding the eggs and baking.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the runny egg yolks.
