Total Time

30-35 minutes

Fresh
4 large eggs
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup diced red onion
1 cup fresh spinach or chopped kale
1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Packaged
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Serving (optional)
Lemon wedges
Extra feta or olive oil for finishing

Cooking the Vegetables
Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Stir in the 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices. Add the 1 cup fresh spinach or chopped kale and cook just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, salt and black pepper to taste, and the optional pinch of red pepper flakes.

Cooking the Eggs
Reduce the heat slightly and create small wells in the vegetable mixture. Crack 4 large eggs directly into the pan, spacing them evenly. Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).

Finishing and Serving
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle over the ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives and ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese. Finish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or basil for brightness. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and an extra drizzle of olive oil or additional feta if desired.
