Ingredients
- Flatbread
- Bacon
- Eggs
- Fresh Spinach
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Chop or crumble into smaller pieces.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, carefully crack the eggs and fry them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each flatbread with olive oil.
- Spread fresh spinach leaves evenly across the flatbreads, leaving small spaces for the eggs.
- Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the spinach. If using cheese, add shredded or crumbled cheese at this point.
- Carefully place the fried eggs on top of the flatbreads.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the flatbread edges are crispy and golden, and the spinach is slightly wilted.
- Remove from oven, drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice and serve immediately while the eggs are still warm and runny.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh spinach and high-quality bacon. If you love cheese, consider using a flavorful variety like feta or goat cheese to enhance the dish.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other toppings like sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick. The beauty of this recipe is its versatility!
- Watch the Eggs: Keep an eye on your eggs while frying. If you prefer a runny yolk, cook them just until the whites are set. For a firmer yolk, let them cook a bit longer.
- Crispy Flatbreads: To ensure your flatbreads are perfectly crispy, make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking and keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the eggs are warm and runny. Consider serving it with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
