Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 10 cups spinach (10 oz / 300 g)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pinch sea salt (for yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook chopped onion until soft and translucent.
  3. Add spinach, lemon juice, and salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until wilted.
  4. Transfer spinach mixture to a baking dish, leaving excess liquid behind.
  5. Create 4 small wells and crack an egg into each.
  6. Bake for 10–15 minutes until whites are set and yolks are cooked to preference.
  7. Mix yogurt, garlic, and salt to make garlic yogurt.
  8. Melt butter in a saucepan, add red pepper flakes and paprika, cook briefly, then stir in parsley.
  9. Remove eggs from oven, drizzle with spiced butter, and serve with garlic yogurt.

Notes

  • Drain spinach well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Adjust baking time based on desired yolk consistency.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
  • Add feta or mozzarella for extra richness.
  • Use frozen spinach if thawed and drained properly.
  • Store leftovers up to 2 days, though best fresh.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking eggs.
