  • 4–5 oz baby spinach leaves
Add 4 to 5 oz baby spinach a few at a time until each batch wilts; taste and adjust salt and pepper.
For a crowd, make wells in the whole pan and poach the eggs in it; otherwise move a portion of sauce to a small pan and store the rest airtight in the fridge up to almost a week.
  • 2 whole eggs
  • salt
  • feta cheese
Make two wells in the sauce, crack in two eggs, season with a little salt and crumble feta around them.
Cover and cook over medium heat until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about five minutes.
Serve with toasted pita or rustic bread to scoop up the sauce.
