  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Dairy

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Oils & Spices

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the ingredients together.
  2. Prepare the vegetables and feta: In a baking dish, combine the cherry or grape tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and minced garlic. Add the 8 ounces of feta cheese in the center, whole or slightly crumbled.
  3. Add oil and seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and feta. Sprinkle dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes evenly over the mixture.
  4. Bake the mixture: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the feta is creamy and lightly browned.
  5. Add spinach and create wells for eggs: Remove the dish from the oven, stir in the chopped baby spinach around the baked ingredients. Make small wells or spaces in the vegetable and feta mixture to crack the 4 large eggs into.
  6. Bake with eggs: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness, ideally with a set white and a slightly runny yolk.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with optional chopped fresh basil or fresh chives to add freshness and additional flavor. Serve warm directly from the baking dish or with toasted bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the baking time for eggs depending on how runny or firm you like your yolks.
  • This dish can easily be turned vegetarian by ensuring the cheese and toppings are vegetarian friendly.
  • Use fresh herbs for garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.
  • Serve with warm crusty bread or pita for dipping in the baked feta and tomatoes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
