Turkish Baked Eggs

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Stir for a minute to evenly coat the spinach and then cover the pan. Let the spinach cook covered for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach begins to wilt. Uncover pan and continue to for another minute or so until all of the spinach is wilted.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer spinach to an over-proof plate, leaving liquid behind. (If your plates are not oven-proof, use a parchment-lined baking sheet instead.) Create a mound with the spinach and make 2 wells for the eggs. Carefully crack an egg each into each well. Place feta next to the eggs on top of the spinach. Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until eggs are set.
  4. Arrange tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives on the plate and season with freshly ground pepper and flaked salt. Serve immediately alongside some crusty bread.
