Method

  1. Heat the oil in an large lidded shallow casserole or non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until soft.
  2. Add the peas, asparagus, thyme and half the feta. Cook for 2-3 mins or until the asparagus starts to soften slightly.
  3. Make 4 wells in the veg mixture. Crack 1 egg into each well, cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 mins or until the eggs are just set. Remove from the heat, top with the remaining feta, parsley and chilli. Season and serve with some crusty bread, if you like.
