NOTES
1. How do you poach eggs in the sauce? Use a pan with a lid. No lid? Then, let the sauce cook a little longer until the eggs are done. You can also prepare it in the oven: place everything in an oven dish and bake for 8 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
2. Spinach – isn't that a lot? It seems a lot, but spinach shrinks by about 80%. Feel free to use baby spinach or regular spinach.
3. Which feta is the tastiest? Greek feta is firm and salty. It doesn't melt away completely and remains nice and creamy.
4. What type of bread do you pair with it? Pita bread, naan bread, or a piece of fresh bread. Delicious for dipping!
5. Can I store it? No, because of the spinach and eggs, this is not a dish that can be reheated later. So enjoy it immediately when it is fresh.
