Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra-virgin, for sautéing
300 grams ground pork (minced pork) - preferably organic
1 medium onion - finely diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - diced
6 medium eggs - large- ¼ cup full-fat cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large handful spinach - fresh, washed
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Aromas of sweet onion and pungent garlic should be prominent.
- Add the pork mince to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned evenly with no pink remaining (about 6-8 minutes).
- Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened, enhancing the dish with its sweet, subtle aroma.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat cream, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Reduce the skillet heat to low. Pour the egg mixture over the pork and vegetables. Stir gently to ensure even distribution.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and gently place the spinach leaves on top.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set but slightly soft in the center.
Notes
For a touch of freshness, consider garnishing with chopped fresh parsley or dill added just before serving.
