  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A vibrant Green Shakshuka made with tender sautéed spinach and kale, fresh herbs, warm spices, and softly set eggs nestled right into the greens. A nourishing one pan dish perfect for brunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cups kale, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 to 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Add spinach and kale in batches, stirring until fully wilted.
  5. Mix in parsley, cilantro, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Create small wells in the greens using a spoon and crack eggs directly into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until egg whites are set and yolks are still slightly soft.
  8. Sprinkle with crumbled feta if using.
  9. Serve warm straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Cook eggs gently over medium low heat for best texture.
  • Covering the skillet helps the egg whites set evenly.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving for extra brightness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
