Ingredients

4 slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, or as needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium leek, halved lengthwise and sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided, or to taste
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1 small zucchini, cut into half-moons
½ bunch green onions, chopped
8 cups baby spinach leaves
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ medium lemon, juiced
4 large eggs
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
2 medium avocado, diced

Steps:

Heat a grill pan over medium-low heat. Brush both sides of each bread slice with some of the olive oil. Grill both sides of bread until crispy and grill marks are evident, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Heat remaining oil with butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until butter is melted. Add leek, 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes, and a good pinch of salt. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add zucchini and green onions, then season with salt and pepper. Stir and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Add spinach; season with more salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and let spinach cook down until wilted. Stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice; continue to cook for 1 minute more.
Make 4 small wells in the skillet and carefully crack an egg into each one. Season each egg with salt, pepper, and remaining pepper flakes. Cover the pan and cook until whites have set and yolks are at desired doneness, about 5 minutes.
Place the skillet on a wire cooling rack. Garnish with feta cheese, chives, and cilantro.
To serve, place one egg and green shakshuka over a grilled piece of toast, along with some sliced avocado and additional chives and cilantro.

GREEN SHAKSHUKA WITH AVOCADO AND LIME

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 piece Yellow Onion, Peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves Garlic, Thinly Sliced
1 bunch Swiss Chard, Stems and Leaves separated and chopped 9 cups
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Half and Half or Heavy Cream
8 pieces Eggs
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
3/4 cup Cojita Cheese or Queso Fresco
1 piece Avocado, Sliced
1 piece Jalapeno, Sliced
1 handful Cilantro, Chopped
1 bag Corn Tortillas or Chips
1 piece Lime, Sliced

Steps:

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until softening, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 minutes more.
Raise the heat to medium high, add the chard stems, and cook to release some liquid, 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves, in batches, adding more as they wilt, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pour in the half and half and stir loosely together.
Make eight small hollows in the cooked chard with the back of a spoon. Gently crack an egg into each hollow. Cover with a lid or foil and cook on medium-low until the eggs are just set, but still soft, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the lid, sprinkle with salt, pepper, cotija, avocado, jalapeño and cilantro. Serve with smoked hot sauce, toasted tortillas and lime wedges.
