Baked Feta Eggs

A comforting and creamy dish of baked feta with eggs, tomatoes, and bell peppers, perfect for brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 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
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional for topping: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. If using ramekins, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta between 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each dish.
  3. If using one large dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta in the center. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and veggies.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the feta and veggies.
  6. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or place the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and stir to combine the feta with the veggies. Add the spinach and stir until combined.
  8. Create a well in the middle of each ramekin or four wells if using one baking dish, and crack the eggs into the wells.
  9. Place the dishes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  10. Top with fresh herbs or sliced chives if desired and serve warm with baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.

Notes

Use high-quality feta for creamier results; keep an eye on the eggs during cooking to achieve your desired doneness.
