spinach and eggs recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This quick and easy one-pan recipe features high-protein eggs nestled in a bed of wilted spinach, topped with creamy whipped feta and a flavorful za’atar oil drizzle. It’s a satisfying and vibrant meal ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh spinach, washed and dried
- 4 large eggs
- 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup full-fat plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon za’atar spice blend
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh mint or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Feta: Combine crumbled feta cheese, yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor. Process for 3-5 minutes until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Make Za’atar Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the za’atar spice blend. Stir well and set aside to infuse.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and sliced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Wilt Spinach Base: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Cook for 5-7 minutes until completely wilted and any excess liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook Eggs in Wells: Create four small indentations in the wilted spinach. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon individual portions of spinach and eggs into bowls. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped feta, drizzle with za’atar oil, and garnish with fresh mint or parsley.
Notes
For best results, use a high-quality block feta in brine. The whipped feta and za’atar drizzle can be made up to a few days ahead to save time. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out all excess liquid before adding it to the skillet. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
