Tender eggs nestle into garlicky spinach with salty feta for a satisfying one-pan meal. Serve with warm crusty bread to catch the soft yolks.

Main Dish Mediterranean Vegetarian

Steps

  1. Warm the olive oil in a small covered skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add spinach and water; stir until the leaves wilt, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Make two small spaces in the spinach and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 4–6 minutes.
  4. Scatter feta over the top and serve while hot.

Tips for Spinach and Feta Skillet Eggs

  • Use a snug-fitting lid so the eggs cook evenly without drying out.
  • Choose a skillet about 8 inches wide to keep the spinach and eggs gathered together.
  • Feta varies in saltiness, so taste the spinach before adding more salt.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry white wine such as Assyrtiko
Its bright acidity balances the creamy eggs and salty feta while complementing the spinach.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a sealed container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the yolks will become firmer.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the eggs are done?
The whites should look opaque and set; the yolks can remain soft or cook until firm, according to your preference.

Can I make this for more people?
Yes. Use a larger skillet and scale the ingredients, keeping enough space around each egg for even cooking.

What should I serve with it?
Warm crusty bread, toasted pita, or a simple tomato salad makes a good accompaniment.
