Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups spinach leaves, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Increase heat to medium-high and add ground lamb to the skillet. Cook, stirring regularly, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to incorporate spices evenly.

  5. 5

    Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Create four small wells in the lamb mixture and crack an egg into each well.

  7. 7

    Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 4-5 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
