Description
Baked Feta Eggs is a Mediterranean-inspired dish combining creamy feta, vibrant vegetables, and perfectly baked eggs. It’s an easy, comforting meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, and can be easily personalized with your favorite herbs and veggies.
Ingredients
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ small red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz block feta cheese
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
4 large eggs
Optional toppings: chopped fresh basil or chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Layer the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and block of feta in individual ramekins or a larger baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Mix oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and sprinkle over the veggies and cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the feta begins to melt.
- Stir in the spinach until it wilts slightly.
- Make a well around the feta and crack an egg into each dish.
- Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain soft.
- Top with fresh herbs and serve warm with crusty bread or pita.
Notes
- Swap feta for goat cheese or herbed cheese spread for different flavors.
- Change up the veggies—zucchini, leeks, or mushrooms are great additions.
- Double the ingredients for a larger crowd, or halve them for a smaller batch.
