Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs free range organic
  • 1 Yellow onion diced
  • 2 pieces Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 Red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 can Tinned Tomatoes preferably fire-roasted (2.5 cups)
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup Parsley finely chopped
  • 2 handfuls Baby spinach
  • 1 cup Feta cheese
  • 1 tsp Nigella seeds optional
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 Avocado sliced
  • 2 slices Bread Gluten-Free / Sourdough

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF (191ºC).
  • Using an oven-safe skillet or frying pan, saute the onion and garlic in coconut oil until soft.
  • Add the water to the pan and sauté the red bell pepper until slightly tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the paprika and cumin for 1 minute. Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, salt, 1/2 of the feta (crumbled), 3/4 of the parsley, salt and pepper. Cover with a lid. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add in the spinach and nigella seeds and stir around.
  • Remove the lid. Make four 'wells' in the tomato and crack in an egg into each one. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 5 minutes uncovered or until the white of the eggs are cooked.
  • Garnish with the remaining crumbled feta, remaining parsley and avocado. Divide into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days.
Alternatives:
  • You can use bone broth instead of water.
  • Add more garlic, onion and cumin if you want more flavour.
  • Could add 1/4 tsp chilli flakes or chilli oil to give it more of a kick.
Make it dairy-free: leave out the feta
Make it vegan: you can add in chickpeas and sweet potato - I have added these with the eggs and it adds more nutrition and makes it a great dinner recipe. Also can add olives (green or black).
