Combine 1 cup baby spinach, 1 Roma tomato (thinly sliced), 1/4 small red onion (thinly sliced), and 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber in a bowl.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs directly into the pan. Cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Just before removing from heat, sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese over the eggs, allowing it to slightly warm.
