Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 medium, diced red onion
- 6 halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 sliced kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm for about 1 minute.
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the tomatoes soften and the spinach wilts.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
Using a spatula, clear two small spaces in the skillet for the eggs. Crack each egg into the cleared spaces. Lower the heat to medium-low.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny (or to your desired doneness).
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and sliced kalamata olives over the top.
Serve immediately with toasted bread or warm pita on the side.
