# How-To Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
02 - Stir in garlic, green bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
03 - Add the spinach, kale or Swiss chard, and spring onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until greens are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Sprinkle in cumin, coriander, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
05 - Mix in chopped parsley, cilantro, and dill. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning.
06 - Using a spoon, make 4 small wells in the vegetable mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
07 - Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 7-8 minutes.
08 - Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top. Cover for another minute to slightly melt the cheese.
09 - Remove from heat. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve immediately with toasted bread or pita.
