Ingredients:
4 large eggs
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Stir in the diced tomatoes and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
