A vibrant, one-pan breakfast masterpiece featuring crispy spiced potatoes, wilted spinach, and perfectly jammy eggs. It's the ultimate nourishing start for a busy family morning.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden and crisp.
Don't crowd the pan; give the potatoes space to get that perfect crunch!
Toss in the diced red pepper and red onion. Continue cooking until the vegetables are softened and the potatoes are fork-tender.
If the pan looks dry, add a tiny splash more olive oil.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Toast the spices for about a minute until fragrant, then fold in the baby spinach until it just begins to wilt.
Spices burn quickly, so keep things moving in the pan.
Use a spoon to create four small wells in the potato mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl first to avoid shells in your skillet.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Check at 3 minutes if you like your yolks extra runny!
Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve straight from the skillet for that rustic family feel.
The residual heat will keep the dish warm while you set the table.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any oven-safe pan will work, but the cast iron gives those potatoes a legendary crust. For a little extra kick, a drizzle of harissa over the top before serving is life-changing. Always use the freshest eggs you can find—the vibrant yolks make the whole dish feel like a celebration!
