Oregano Eggs (Uova all'Origano)

This simple Italian dish, known as uova all’origano, transforms humble eggs into a fragrant, savoury meal with just a handful of Mediterranean staples. By gently poaching the eggs in olive oil under a lid, the whites become tender while the dried oregano and salty Grana Padano create a delicate, herbaceous crust. It is a wonderful way to elevate a store-cupboard breakfast into something truly special and satisfying.

As a diabetes-friendly option, these oregano eggs provide a high-protein, low-carbohydrate meal that helps maintain steady energy levels throughout the morning. While delicious on its own, you can serve it atop a bed of peppery rocket or alongside grilled tomatoes for a nutritious, light lunch. It is a quick and versatile recipe that brings authentic Italian flavour to your kitchen in less than ten minutes.

Ingredients for Oregano Eggs (Uova all'Origano)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 60ml grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano

How to make Oregano Eggs (Uova all'Origano)

Set a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over a burner that's still off. Swirl the pan with the olive oil, and gently break all the eggs to fill the pan, taking care not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with the salt and dried oregano. Sprinkle the grated cheese over all.

Cover the skillet, and turn the flame to medium-low. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 7 to 8 minutes for still-runny yolks.

This is a great breakfast or main course, or, served over some rocket, it can be an appetizer.
