Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach leaves.
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the pan is evenly coated with oil.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it begins to wilt and reduce in volume. Spread the spinach evenly across the pan.
- Scatter halved cherry tomatoes across the wilted spinach, allowing them to slightly caramelize for additional flavor.
- Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the spinach and tomato mixture, spacing them evenly around the skillet.
- Sprinkle feta cheese over and around the eggs. Season the entire skillet with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
- Remove from heat and let the skillet rest for 1 minute to allow residual heat to finish cooking.
- Serve directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving has two eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of feta.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop the spinach and halve the cherry tomatoes the night before. Store them in the refrigerator for a quick morning prep.
- Non-Stick Skillet: Use a high-quality non-stick skillet to ensure easy cooking and cleaning. This will help prevent the eggs from sticking and make serving a breeze.
- Eggs to Preference: If you prefer your yolks cooked through, simply cover the skillet for an extra minute or two. Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired doneness.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Garnish for Flair: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving for an added burst of color and freshness.
- Serve with Toast: Pair your skillet with crusty bread or whole-grain toast to soak up the delicious runny yolks and juices.
- Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove for a quick meal.
