On the stove top in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or similar, heat a couple of drizzles of olive oil.
To the pan add the diced onion. Cook for around 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat until the onion has softened and is beginning to brown. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute longer.
To the skillet add the dry Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the canned tomatoes.
Cook over medium-heat for around 5-7 minutes to allow the tomatoes to break down and reduce. Taste and adjust the salt and black pepper to your taste.
After the tomatoes have cooked add the fresh spinach. Stir the spinach through the tomatoes until it wilts, around 1-2 minutes.
Using a spoon make divots pushing the tomatoes and spinach to the side. Crack one egg into each spot. Season the tops with salt and black pepper.
Continue to cook the eggs according to your personal preference, placing a lid on top slightly offset. (You can also transfer oven safe skillets to the oven under the broiler to bake the eggs.)
Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan and fresh basil or parsley and serve.
