How to Make Baked Feta Eggs

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. If using ramekins or individual serving dishes, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese between 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each dish. 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.
3. Place the dried oregano, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
4. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the feta and veggies, dividing it equally if making individual servings.
5. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or put the baking dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. Remove the dishes from the oven and stir everything together so the feta mixes evenly with the veggies. Add the spinach and stir until combined.
7. Create a well in the middle of each ramekin or four wells if using one baking dish. Crack an egg into each well.
8. Place the dishes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
9. Top with optional chopped fresh herbs or sliced chives.
10. Serve with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.

How to Serve Baked Feta Eggs

Baked Feta Eggs can be served directly in the ramekins or on a plate. They are best enjoyed with a side of crusty bread, toast, or pita. This way, you can dip and scoop up every delicious bite.

How to Store Baked Feta Eggs

If you have leftovers, let them cool and then transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. Keep in mind that the texture of the eggs will change after reheating.

Tips to Make Baked Feta Eggs

1. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Zucchini, mushrooms, or kale can also be great additions.
2. Use crumbled feta for easier mixing and to get a creamier texture.
3. Don’t skip the herbs; they add a lot of flavor to the dish.
4. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.

Variation

You can make a Mediterranean version by adding sliced olives or sun-dried tomatoes. For a meatier option, consider adding cooked crumbled sausage or bacon.
