Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Dice the onion and tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Sprinkle the oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and stir well to combine.
Create four small wells in the vegetable mixture using a spatula.
Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or longer if you prefer fully cooked yolks).
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the skillet and cook for 1 more minute until the cheese softens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with warm crusty bread or pita.
