🛒 Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. butter
• 2 small tomatoes, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh dill, for garnish

👩‍🍳 How to Make Greek-Style Eggs

1. Sauté the Tomatoes. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 1 minute, just until they begin to soften and release their juices.

2. Cook the Eggs. Bring the heat to medium-low. Crack the eggs directly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle the crumbled feta generously over the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness. For runny yolks, cook for about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook a bit longer.

4. Serve. Transfer everything to a serving plate. Spoon all of the buttery tomato juices over the eggs and finish with plenty of fresh dill. Serve immediately while warm.

💡 Helpful Tips

• Use ripe tomatoes. Sweet, juicy tomatoes create the most flavorful sauce.
• Keep the heat moderate. Cooking over medium or medium-low heat prevents the butter from browning too quickly.
• Don’t overcook the eggs. Slightly runny yolks pair beautifully with the tomatoes and feta.
• Serve immediately. This dish tastes best fresh from the skillet.

🔄 Recipe Variations

Add olives. Sliced Kalamata olives add even more Mediterranean flavor.

Try fresh herbs. Parsley, basil, oregano, or chives all work well alongside dill.

Make it spicy. Sprinkle on red pepper flakes or drizzle with chili oil before serving.

Add spinach. Stir in a handful of fresh spinach with the tomatoes for extra greens.
