Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Dairy & Eggs
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
Seasoning & Garnish
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the eggs and vegetables together.
- Heat olive oil and sauté onion: Place a medium-sized skillet or ovenproof dish over medium heat, add olive oil, and sauté the finely chopped red onion for about 2 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Add garlic and bell pepper: Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.
- Cook tomato: Add the diced tomato to the skillet and stir well, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add feta and seasonings: Spread the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the vegetable mixture, then sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper on top.
- Create wells and add eggs: Make four small wells in the mixture and carefully crack one egg into each well.
- Bake in oven: Transfer the skillet or ovenproof dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
- Cool and garnish: Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve: Serve the baked feta eggs warm with bread on the side if desired for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a runnier yolk, reduce baking time slightly.
- You can add other herbs like thyme or basil for different flavor profiles.
- Using an ovenproof skillet makes transferring the dish to the oven easier.
- Serve with crusty bread or pita to soak up the delicious sauce.
