Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 kaiser rolls or French buns
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 ounces spinach
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 ounce feta crumbled
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp za'atar seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil + extra
  • unsalted butter
  • sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  • Heat oil in a skillet, add garlic and cook over low heat until soft. Increase the heat and add spinach, cook for 30 seconds or just until the spinach is wilted. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the rolls in half. Using your finger tops, gently push the middle of each bun until there is a hole large enough to fit a cracked-egg.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish with butter and arrange the buns. Divide the spinach between the buns, crack an egg into each hole and dot feta around the eggs. Sprinkle with za’atar and cumin, season lightly with salt and pepper. Brush with extra olive oil.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, it depends on how you like your eggs. Serve at once, warm straight from the pan with sour cream. Enjoy!
