Description
A warm, Mediterranean-inspired baked egg dish with juicy roasted tomatoes, creamy feta, and fresh spinach—comforting and flavorful for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup baby spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, sliced green onions, diced chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Choose individual ramekins or one 8×8–9×11 inch baking dish.
- Divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta evenly among the dishes. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Mix oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; sprinkle over the vegetables and cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
- Remove from oven and stir in baby spinach until just wilted and combined.
- Make wells in the mixture (one per ramekin or four in the large dish) and crack an egg into each well.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are still slightly runny.
- Garnish with parsley, green onions, or chives if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, toast, or pita.
Notes
- Use goat cheese or herbed cheese as a feta alternative.
- Try zucchini, mushrooms, or kale as veggie variations.
- Spice it up with cayenne or jalapeños.
- Make a scrambled version by mixing eggs and cheese before baking.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat at 350°F for 10–12 minutes or microwave 1–2 minutes.
