Ingredients

  • Sourdough, brioche, challah, Texas toast, or artisan whole wheat bread
  • Fresh, large eggs
  • Fresh baby spinach
  • Feta cheese
  • Milk or cream (optional)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Onion powder (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Dried dill or oregano (optional)
  • Butter or olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: If using fresh baby spinach, give it a quick rinse and roughly chop it. If using frozen, ensure it's fully thawed and squeezed dry. Crumble your feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.
  2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, crack your eggs. Add the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, a splash of milk or cream (if using), salt, black pepper, and any other seasonings you desire. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a fork until the egg yolks and whites are fully combined and the spinach and feta are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Take your sturdy bread slices. Using a round cookie cutter, a knife, or the rim of a small glass, cut a hole (about 2-3 inches in diameter) from the center of each slice of bread. Don't discard those cut-out circles.
  4. Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan. Let it get nice and hot but not smoking.
  5. Cook the First Side: Carefully place your bread slices (with the holes) into the hot pan. Let them toast for about 1-2 minutes until they're golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Fill and Cook: Once the bread is lightly toasted on one side, flip each slice over. Immediately pour a portion of your spinach and feta egg mixture into the hole of each bread slice. You can also lightly brush the entire surface of the bread with the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  7. Cook Through: Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low. Let the egg toast cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the egg mixture in the center is mostly set.
  8. Flip and Finish: Once the egg looks mostly set and the bottom of the bread is golden, carefully flip each egg toast to cook the other side. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked to your liking and the bread is toasted golden brown.
  9. Serve Immediately: Transfer your Spinach and Feta Egg Toast to plates and serve hot!
