Eggs have a complete amino acid profile, making them an ideal post-workout food for those who want to build lean muscle, support recovery and promote collagen production. Adding frozen spinach instead of fresh is a cost-effective solution that also allows you to maximise nutrients, namely magnesium. Magnesium assists with muscle recovery and energy production. Pair one of these tasty bakes with a slice or two of wholegrain toast to complete the meal, adding valuable complex carbohydrates to aid recovery and restore glycogen levels.
1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C and lightly spray four 1-cup ramekins with spray oil and place on an oven-proof tray.
2. Place four eggs and milk in a medium jug and whisk to combine. Add the spinach, basil and mozzarella cheese to the jug and stir through.
3. Divide the egg mixture between the four ramekins and top with cherry tomatoes and spring onion. Season with pepper.
4. Crack one egg into the top of each ramekin. Place the tray into the oven for 20 minutes or until egg is just set. Serve immediately.

If you don’t have any ramekins, simply cook the four breakfast bakes in a large muffin pan.
Leftover breakfast bakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat thoroughly in a microwave or oven prior to consuming leftovers.
