Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F and lightly oil a baking dish.

Cook the onion in half of the olive oil until soft, then add the garlic.
-
Whisk the eggs, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine the rice, warm broth, spinach, onion mixture, and yogurt mixture in the baking dish.
-
Cover tightly and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Uncover, scatter over the feta, and bake until the rice is tender and the top is lightly golden.

Let the rice bake rest before gently fluffing the surface.
-
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and serve warm.
Tips
