Instructions
1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned.
2
Gradually add the chopped spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, stirring until each addition has wilted. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes until all the spinach is tender and a vibrant green color.
3
Transfer the sautéed spinach mixture to a large mixing bowl. While the mixture is still warm, add the softened cream cheese, stirring until it melts and incorporates fully.
4
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then blend in the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and add them to the spinach mixture. Use a fork to mash the yolks into the mixture until smooth and creamy.
6
Spoon or pipe the creamy spinach filling into each egg half, generously topping them to create a mound.
7
Finish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for a tasty bite. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
