1

Bake jacket potatoes in a hot oven for about an hour and a half.

Cut the baked potatoes in half and scoop out some of the insides, leaving a bit to hold the filling.

Prepare the spinach by adding butter to a hot pan and quickly adding the spinach, cooking until wilted (about 30 seconds).

4

Squeeze out excess liquid from the cooked spinach and pat it dry.

5

Dice the tomato, removing the seeds to reduce water content.

6

Fill the potato halves with spinach, onion, and diced tomato.

7

Crack an egg into each potato half, ensuring the yolk stays intact.

8

Sprinkle cheese and black pepper on top of the filled potatoes.

9

Bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny.
