Mediterranean Tomato & White Bean Skillet with Crispy Feta
Juicy late-summer tomatoes, creamy white beans, spinach and crispy feta come together in one skillet with award-winning Koroneiki EVOO. Fresh, simple Mediterranean cooking in about 25 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons Koroneiki EVOO in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to blister and collapse. Gently crush a few tomatoes with the back of a spoon to create a light sauce.
Add the cannellini beans and 1 tablespoon Koroneiki EVOO. Stir gently and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the beans are heated through.
Add the spinach and stir just until wilted.
Scatter the feta over the top of the skillet. Place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, or until the feta begins to turn golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven. Finish with a generous drizzle of the remaining Koroneiki EVOO and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with zest
Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley and serve immediately with warm crusty bread for soaking up the tomato and olive oil juices.

Recipe Notes
Mrs. Salty's Tip: Don't skip the finishing drizzle! Cooking with a great EVOO builds flavor, but adding fresh Koroneiki at the end lets you really taste its green, fruity character and peppery finish.Make it a meal: Add grilled shrimp or chicken if you'd like extra protein.No oven-safe skillet? Transfer everything to a baking dish before adding the feta, or simply cover the skillet for a minute or two to warm and soften the cheese.
