Description
Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs are a warm and filling breakfast featuring juicy tomatoes, salty feta, and soft baked eggs, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 to 8 ounces block of feta cheese (Use a block for texture; crumbled works too.)
- 1.5 to 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (They get jammy when roasted.)
- 2 big handfuls fresh spinach (Adds color and nutrition.)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (Essential for roasting and flavor.)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional, but adds great flavor.)
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano (Enhances the Mediterranean taste.)
- 4 eggs (Use fresh eggs for best results.)
- Salt and pepper to taste (Be cautious with salt due to feta’s saltiness.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a baking dish, add the tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Add oregano, pepper, and minced garlic if desired. Toss to combine.
- Nestle the block of feta in the center of the tomatoes, or pile crumbled feta in the middle.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta looks soft.
- Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the feta and tomatoes together to create a creamy sauce.
- Fold in the spinach until it wilts.
- Make small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into them.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, checking frequently until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, additional pepper, and any herbs you like before serving.
Notes
Serve with warm toast for dipping to enjoy the flavorful tomato-feta sauce. You can customize with add-ins like herbs, spices, or additional vegetables as desired.
