How to Make Green Shakshuka with Avocado, Chile, and Feta

1. Saute Aromatics and Leeks

Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic, ground coriander, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Once the garlic begins to turn golden, add the sliced leeks and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Wilt Greens and Add Herbs

Add the mixed tender greens in batches, allowing each to wilt before adding the next. Stir in the chopped herbs and ¼ cup crumbled feta. Add a splash of water if the mixture is dry. Zest one lemon into the skillet.

3. Bake with Eggs

Create divots in the greens and crack an egg into each one. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, until the eggs are set but still jiggly in the center.

4. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced avocado, more crumbled feta, red pepper flakes, fresh herb leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
