Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat up.
- Add the chopped leek and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables become soft and translucent.
- Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, stirring constantly. The spinach will wilt down significantly as it cooks.
- Pour the lemon juice over the spinach and continue to cook until all the spinach is wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.
- Season with a dash of salt to taste.
- Create four small wells in the spinach mixture using a spoon.
- Crack one egg into each well, taking care not to break the yolk.
- Season the eggs with a sprinkle of chili powder and dried oregano.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler on high.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for egg doneness.
- Remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts.
- Dollop the prepared Greek yogurt mixture over the eggs and spinach.
- Serve immediately, straight from the skillet.
Tips:
- Make sure to properly wash and dry the spinach to remove any dirt or grit.
- Use fresh, high-quality Greek yogurt for the best flavor and consistency.
- Preheat your skillet before adding any ingredients to ensure even cooking.
- If you like your eggs runny, keep an eye on them and remove from oven as soon as the whites are set.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder based on your spice preference.
- Garnish with some fresh herbs or feta cheese for an extra flavor boost.
