Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Slice the red onion thinly and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until they start to burst.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir gently until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and create two small wells in the vegetable mixture.
Crack two eggs into each well and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Scatter the crumbled feta cheese and halved kalamata olives over the dish. Cook for an additional minute to warm the toppings.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Toast the crusty bread or pita slices and serve alongside the Mediterranean breakfast.
Enjoy this nutritious and flavorful start to your day!
