- Add the canned tomatoes with their juice and simmer 8 minutes until slightly thickened; stir in the spinach until wilted. Spread this sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish if your pan isn't oven-safe.
- In a bowl, whisk 2 of the eggs with the ricotta, half the feta and the black pepper; spoon this cheese mixture over the sauce in dollops.
- Make 4 wells in the sauce and crack one of the remaining 4 eggs into each well. Scatter the remaining half of the feta over the top.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese mixture is set and the eggs reach 160°F (71°C).
- Rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the toasted whole-wheat bread.
