Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together soup, carrot, water chestnuts, yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Stir in spinach. Divide the spinach mixture among four individual casseroles.
Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of the spinach mixture. (or distribute the spinach mixture into a single 10x6x2" (25x15x5 cm baking dish and make four indentations in the mix.)
Break one egg into each indentation. Bake, covered, in a 350℉ oven for about 20 to 35 minutes or to your preference, until the whites are fully set and the yolks are beginning to set.
Sprinkle with additional pepper, if desired, to serve.
