Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh spinach
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 4 whole large eggs
- 50 grams feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the cherry tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Return the spinach to the skillet and stir into the tomato mixture.
Create four wells in the spinach-tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Remove the skillet from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm with whole grain bread or pita.
