Description

A delicious twist on the classic Middle Eastern shakshuka, packed with protein-rich eggs, vibrant spinach, and creamy feta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice) to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.

  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top of the eggs and cover. Cook until the eggs are set to your liking, roughly 5-7 minutes.
