Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the drained chickpeas and fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly crispy.
2
Add the chopped garlic and smoked paprika. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the baby spinach to the pan. Stir just until the spinach wilts slightly.
3
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium and pour the egg mixture over the chickpeas and spinach.
4
Using a spatula, slowly push the eggs from the edge toward the center until they are cooked but still moist. Remove from heat and sprinkle with feta cheese, if desired.
