Why This Recipe Works

This recipe is fuss-free. The vegetables can be prepped the night before, so this dish is perfect for a weekday breakfast. And you eat them out of the bowl you use to air-fry them. The air fryer's dry heat cooks refrigerated or frozen vegetables quickly, reducing prep, cook, and cleanup time. Creating two indentations in the spinach mixture separates the eggs slightly, helping them cook through, warmed by the vegetables, better than if they were nestled together, with whites touching. Lemon juice and dill cut the eggs’ richness. We prefer the flavor and texture of jarred whole baby artichokes but you can substitute 3 ounces frozen artichokes, thawed, patted dry, and chopped coarse.

Before You Begin

You will need a 3-cup ovensafe bowl for this recipe; before starting this recipe, confirm your air fryer allows enough space for the dish. This recipe can be easily doubled in a 1½-quart soufflé dish.

Instructions

Combine spinach, artichokes, scallion, 2 teaspoons dill, oil, lemon juice, and nutmeg in 3-cup ovensafe bowl, then spread into even layer. (Spinach mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)

Make two shallow 2-inch-wide indentations in spinach mixture using back of spoon, then place bowl in air-fryer basket. Place basket into air fryer; set temperature to 400 degrees; and cook until edges of spinach mixture begin to brown, about 8 minutes.

Remove basket from air fryer and reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Crack 1 egg into each indentation, lightly spray with oil spray, and sprinkle with salt. Return basket to air fryer and cook until egg whites are opaque but still slightly jiggly, 6 to 8 minutes.

Turn off air fryer and let eggs sit, without moving, until whites are set, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle eggs and spinach mixture with feta and remaining 1 teaspoon dill and drizzle with extra oil. Serve.
