Ingredients

2 Tbsp. Mt. Olympus Greek Seasoning, divided

1 lb. ground lamb 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 red bell pepper, diced 1/2 red onion, diced 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes

1 tsp. Minced Garlic

1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved 2 cups spinach, packed and rough chopped 4 to 6 eggs 4 oz. feta cheese, cubed

Cayenne Chile Powder, optional

Directions

Step 1 In a large bowl, mix 1 Tbsp. Mt. Olympus Greek Style Seasoning into ground lamb. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Step 2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a medium, oven-safe skillet. Take half of the seasoned lamb and pinch off pieces to add to the skillet. Cook until pieces are browned on all sides, about 5 min., then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining lamb.

Step 3 Add bell pepper and onion to skillet with lamb drippings and cook until tender, about 5 min. Add tomatoes, garlic, and remaining 1 Tbsp. Mt. Olympus Greek Style Seasoning. Stir to combine and simmer over low heat for 10 min. Stir in pepperoncini, olives, and spinach.

Step 4 Use a spoon to make craters a few inches apart in the sauce. Crack an egg into each crater, keeping the eggs separate. Nestle cubes of feta and cooked lamb into the sauce around the eggs.

Step 5 Bake, uncovered, for 12 to 15 min. or until yolks are just set and whites are no longer translucent. Let cool slightly before serving.
