Ingredients

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil

    ¼ cup (60 mL) chopped shallots

    2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh thyme leaves, or ½ tsp (2 mL) dried

    2 cups (500 mL) cooked green lentils

    1 cup (250 mL) coarsely chopped spinach leaves

    1 cup (250 mL) grape tomatoes, quartered

    ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt

    ¼ tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper

    2 oz (60 g) feta cheese, crumbled

    4 large eggs

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped parsley


Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a 10 inch skillet that has a lid, over a medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until they have softened and are beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the thyme, then add the lentils, spinach, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, stirring just enough to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the feta on top of the mixture, then make 4 wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each.
  2. Cover and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 7-8 minutes.
  3. To serve, use a spatula to transfer the eggs and lentil mixture to serving plates. Serve garnished with the parsley.
