Ingredients:

2/3 cup greek yogurt
160g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tbsp butter
14g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
3 tbsp leek
16g
2 tbsp onion
12g
10 cups spinach
300g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
4 eggs
220g
1/4 tsp chili powder
0.65g
1 tsp dried oregano
1g

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
- 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.
2. Cook the Spinach:
- 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.
3. Add the Eggs:
- 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.
4. Bake the Eggs:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.
