Baked Eggs with Cheese

I needed a quick meal tonight and wanted to clean out some things that needed used up.  Sometimes I fill the fridge before it is completely empty.  That is when it seems things get wasted.  The worst money pit is throwing good food away because it is too easy to not pay attention to what should be used.  This egg bake is easy, healthy and fresh, and cheap!  Remember this is 4 servings!

Baked Eggs with Cheese

1 T. butter
3  red-skinned potatoes, diced
1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 eggs
1/2 c. sharp shredded cheese
Fresh Spinach

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet (or oven proof skillet, I used a 9") over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until tender and brown, about 15 minutes. 

Stir in the parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, and remove from the heat.

Push the potatoes aside to make 4 evenly spaced shallow nests and break 2 eggs into each. 

Bake until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue baking until it just melts, about 1 minute more. 

Serve over a bed of fresh spinach.

Running a little late tonight.  I had a million plus 10 things to get done.  Just one of those evenings!  But I encourage you to remember this quick, easy meal to use when you have 'just one of those evenings'.
