Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or sauté pan over a medium heat, then fry the onions for 10 minutes, stirring often, until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and fry for 2 minutes more, until fragrant, then stir in the tomatoes and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, until thickened. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6.

Step 2

As the tomatoes cook, squeeze all the liquid from the spinach, using a clean tea towel. Cook the garlic bread in the oven according to pack instructions. Stir the spinach into the pan, bring to a sizzle and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until it looks a little drier and the spinach is piping hot. Stir in the soft cheese and bring back to a gentle sizzle.

Step 3

Make 4 wells in the mixture and gently crack an egg into each. Turn the heat right down, cover with a lid, then cook for 6-8 minutes, until the whites look set but still a little wobbly. Remove the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Scatter with the chilli (if using) and parsley, then serve with the garlic bread.
