Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium skillet, add the 2 tbsp of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Allow the spinach to cool slightly, then press out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Lightly grease a small baking dish with the 1 tsp of butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are coated.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs and season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Stir in the wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm as a delightful breakfast, brunch, or light lunch.
Tips:
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried before cooking to prevent excess moisture in the bake.
- For a richer flavor, you can sauté the spinach in the butter for a few minutes before baking.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices like garlic powder, paprika, or nutmeg to enhance the flavor profile.
- Use a baking dish of appropriate size to ensure the eggs cook evenly. If using a larger dish, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a few tablespoons of cream or milk to the eggs before mixing.
- Check the bake a few minutes before the suggested time; oven temperatures can vary, and you want to avoid overcooking the eggs.
