Ingredients for 2 people:

  • 2 beets baked
  • 1/4 bunch of parsley
  • a few sprigs of dill
  • 1/2 bunch coriander
  • 1-2 spring onions
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic (optional)
  • 100 g spinach cleaned
  • 80 g of polenta
  • 1 tbsp salt + extra for the eggs
  • 40 g grated gruyere
  • 500 ml broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 70 g of myzithra
  • 4 eggs
  • for the garnish:
  • some of the herbs, bukovo and a little lemon juice

How to make it:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Grate the beets, chop the herbs and wash the spinach. Keep some herbs aside for serving. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients well, including the gruyere. Rub them gently until the polenta changes color. Put in a medium pyrex, smooth the surface and add the broth.
  • Bake for 20′. Remove from the oven and add the olive oil and myzithra, mixing well. We turn for another 20′. Take out and mix very well. Make 4 wells and place the eggs. Add salt and pepper on top of each egg while adding a few pieces of mizithra in various places. Return to the oven for another 8-10′ until the egg white solidifies and the yolk is still runny. Serve immediately and sprinkle with a few herbs that we have reserved, lemon and bukovo.
