Ingredient Notes

The four main ingredients are fresh spinach, eggs, olive oil, and feta cheese. For spinach, you can substitute with kale or Swiss chard if needed. Any quality olive oil will work best, and feel free to use crumbled goat cheese if you prefer. You’ll need about 5-6 large eggs for a hearty serving.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet with the spinach, allowing them to cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the dish and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to warm the cheese.

Things I’ve Learned

When sautéing spinach, ensure you don’t overcook it to retain its vibrant color and nutrients. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a skillet on low heat or in the microwave for a quick meal.
