Green Baked Eggs with Peas, Leeks and Feta Seed Crumble
- Serves 2-4
Ingredients for green baked eggs
- 30g butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 leeks, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced
- a bunch of spring onions, roughly chopped
- sea salt flakes & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 150ml vegetable stock
- 200g frozen peas
- a good handful of baby spinach
- 4 large eggs
For the dressing:
- 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 100g Feta cheese, cubed
- 1 clove garlic
Method for green baked eggs
- Mix the yoghurt with the Feta cheese, smashing the cheese with a fork to combine well into a chunky sauce.
- Cut the garlic clove in half lengthwise and add to the yoghurt mixture. Set aside.
- Heat a large sauté pan over a medium heat and add the butter and oil.
- Once the butter starts to foam add the leeks and spring onion, season with sea salt and black pepper. Fry the vegetables for 2-minutes, stirring until the leeks are soft.
- Add the cumin seeds and vegetable stock and boil the mixture until the stock has evaporated.
- Add the peas and spinach and cook for 1 minute until the spinach has wilted, then reduce the heat to a low to medium heat.
- Make a well in the leek and pea mixture and break an egg into the space. Repeat with remaining eggs, then season each yolk with salt.
- Cook the eggs for about 4-5 minutes over a low heat, or until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are runny.
- Remove the garlic halves from the yoghurt and Feta sauce and serve with the baked eggs.
- Serve with a wedge of lemon.
