Ingredients

4 large fresh eggs
4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and sprinkle in the dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer the tomato sauce mixture for about 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
While the sauce is simmering, poach the eggs. Fill a large saucepan with water, about 3 inches deep, and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack each egg into a small dish or ramekin, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and set them aside.
To serve, place a generous portion of the sautéed spinach on a plate. Spoon the tomato sauce over the spinach, making a well in the center. Carefully place a poached egg into the well, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese on top.
Serve the Poached Eggs Mytilene immediately and enjoy the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
