Serves: 4
Hands-on time: 25 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp plus pinch sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups roughly chopped collard greens
- 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 cups roughly chopped spinach

- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (NONDAIRY ALTERNATIVE: vegan cream cheese)
- 1 tbsp milk 1% milk (NONDAIRY ALTERNATIVE: light coconut milk)
- 2 tsp red chile paste
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil on medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add salt, pepper and collard greens and cook, stirring, until vibrant green, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cloves garlic, cumin, oregano and pepper flakes and stir to combine. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Mist a cast iron skillet with cooking spray. With tongs, remove spinach mixture from pot and transfer to skillet, leaving excess liquid in pot. Scatter mushrooms over top. Make 4 wells in spinach mixture and gently crack eggs into wells. Bake until eggs are set, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk yogurt, milk, remaining 1 clove garlic and chile paste until combined. Distribute mixture in dollops over top of spinach mixture. If desired, serve with multigrain bread to soak up the egg yolks.
