Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice halloumi into 0.5-inch-thick planks. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear halloumi 90 seconds per side until golden, then set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir in red onion, then add tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add spinach and oregano, stirring until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Create 4 small wells in the mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low until whites are set but yolks still jiggle, 4–5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Return halloumi to the skillet to warm through. Season with salt and pepper, then serve straight from the pan.
