Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced spring onions or scallions
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 ounces tomatillos or green tomatoes, chopped
8 cups chopped mature spinach
¼ cup water
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
¼ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Cracked pepper & harissa for garnish

Directions

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add spring onions (or scallions) and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeño (or serrano) and cumin; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatillos (or green tomatoes) and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to break down, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and water; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in parsley, cilantro, mint and salt.
Crack eggs over the vegetables. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the whites are set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with feta; cover and let stand for 2 minutes. Garnish with cracked pepper and harissa, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
