This twist on a classic North African and Middle Eastern dish that typically features tomatoes is delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Tender spinach and vitamin C-packed peppers form the base of this version while fragrant cumin lends a warm earthiness similar to the original. We prefer to cook the eggs until the whites are just set and the yolks are runny, but feel free to cook the eggs to whatever doneness you prefer.

Add spinach, handfuls at a time and stir until spinach wilts and cooks down. Season with cumin and salt. Stir in ¼ cup water.
