Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & 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

Seasonings & Oils

  • 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

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Optional for Topping

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dish.
  2. Prepare the vegetables and feta: If using individual ramekins, evenly divide the tomatoes, diced bell pepper, diced onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese into four oven-safe dishes. Drizzle about one tablespoon of olive oil over each dish. If using one large baking dish, combine all the vegetables in the dish and place the block of feta cheese in the center, drizzling the olive oil evenly over everything.
  3. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring well to form the seasoning blend.
  4. Season the dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the vegetables and feta in either the ramekins or large baking dish.
  5. Bake the vegetable and feta mixture: Place ramekins on a baking sheet or place the large dish directly into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. This step softens the vegetables and starts melting the feta.
  6. Stir in spinach: Remove the dish(es) from the oven and stir gently to combine the softened vegetables and feta evenly. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir until incorporated.
  7. Create wells and add eggs: Make a small well in the middle of each ramekin or four wells if using one large dish. Crack one large egg into each well, carefully avoiding breaking the yolk.
  8. Final bake: Return the dish(es) to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny or cooked to your preference.
  9. Add fresh herbs: Remove from the oven and top with optional chopped fresh basil or chives to add a fresh herbal aroma and flavor.
  10. Serve: Serve the baked feta eggs warm with crusty baguette, toast, or pita bread for dipping and scooping the delicious mixture.

Notes

  • You can use individual ramekins for easier portioning or one large baking dish for a family-style meal.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to taste if you prefer less or more heat.
  • For a vegetarian meal, this recipe is naturally suitable as it contains no meat.
  • Keep an eye on the eggs in the final baking step to prevent overcooking; baking times may vary by oven.
  • Adding fresh herbs at the end enhances flavor, but they can be omitted if unavailable.
