The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably oven-safe) over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
5
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
6
Make four wells in the spinach and tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
7
Sprinkle the feta cheese over the eggs and vegetables.
8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (adjust cooking time depending on your preference).
9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables.

You can substitute other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.

If your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the vegetable mixture to a baking dish before adding the eggs and cheese.

Serve with toasted bread or pita bread for dipping.
