Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Oils and Spices

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Proteins

  • 4 large eggs

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the vegetables and cheese evenly.
  2. Prepare Ingredients in Serving Dishes: If using ramekins or individual oven-safe dishes, divide the cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese equally between the four dishes. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over each. If using a single large baking dish, combine the vegetables and garlic in the dish and place the feta cheese block in the center. Drizzle all olive oil evenly over the feta and vegetables.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir the spices well until evenly mixed.
  4. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the combined spice mix evenly over the feta and vegetables, making sure to distribute equally among the individual dishes or across the large dish.
  5. Bake Vegetables and Feta: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the feta to start melting into the mixture.
  6. Combine and Add Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and gently stir the mixture to combine the melted feta with the roasted vegetables. Then fold in the chopped baby spinach evenly into the mixture.
  7. Create Wells and Add Eggs: Make a small well in the center of each individual dish or four wells if using a large dish. Crack one large egg into each well carefully without breaking the yolk.
  8. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
  9. Garnish: Remove from oven and top with optional chopped fresh basil or fresh chives for extra flavor and freshness.
  10. Serve: Serve the baked feta eggs hot with crusty baguette, toast, or pita bread for dipping into the delicious cooked mixture.

Notes

  • You can use ramekins for individual servings or one large baking dish for a family-style dish.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on desired egg doneness (less time for runny yolks, more for firm).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven.
  • Optional fresh herbs add freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve with fresh bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
