Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 2-3)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (or kale)
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Sauté the Base: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, and smoked paprika, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Build the Sauce: Add the cherry tomatoes and roasted red peppers, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes start to soften (about 5 minutes). Stir in the baby spinach and olives, letting them wilt slightly.
  • Add the Feta: Crumble the feta over the mixture and make small wells for the eggs.
  • Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs into the wells, keeping the yolks intact. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  • Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. (Bake longer if you prefer firmer yolks.)
  • Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil. Serve with warm pita, crusty bread, or over a bed of quinoa for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, serve with warm pita, crusty bread, or quinoa.
  • You can use kale instead of spinach for a slightly different flavor.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes and paprika to suit your spice preference.
  • If you prefer firmer egg yolks, bake a few minutes longer.
