Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable broth
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 large eggs
Feta cheese, crumbled (for serving)
Crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garlic, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add spinach, parsley, cilantro, and dill to the skillet. Cook until spinach wilts, about 3-5 minutes.
Pour in vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Make four wells in the spinach mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 5-8 minutes.
Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately with crusty bread.
Notes
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
You can use other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard in place of some of the spinach.
For a richer flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
