Turn off the heat and add mint and dill to the spinach mixture.

Cut Cypriot flat breads in half and stuff them with the spinach filling.

Drizzle olive oil on top of the stuffed breads.

Preheat the oven to 230°C and bake the stuffed breads until the cheese melts.

In a hot pan, add olive oil and cut pieces of graviera cheese, cooking until golden on both sides.

In the same pan, add plenty of olive oil and crack 4 eggs into it, cooking them sunny-side up by spooning oil over the eggs.

Serve the stuffed breads topped with fried eggs, haloumi, and herbs.
