These Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs are a delightful way to start your day, combining the creamy richness of feta cheese with the vibrant flavors of fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ small red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces feta cheese
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
1 cup chopped baby spinach
4 large eggs
Optional Toppings: Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives


Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Ingredients:
For Individual Servings: Divide the tomatoes, diced bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 oven-safe ramekins or individual serving dishes. Drizzle each dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
For a Large Dish: Combine the tomatoes, diced bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in a single large oven-safe dish. Place the block of feta cheese in the center and drizzle the entire dish with 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the Dish: In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the feta and vegetables (divide equally if making individual servings).
Bake the Feta and Veggies:
For Individual Servings: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and then into the preheated oven.
For a Large Dish: Place the baking dish directly into the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the feta is slightly golden.
Stir and Add Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven. Stir the feta and veggies together until the feta is evenly mixed in with the vegetables. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir to combine.
Add the Eggs: Create a well in the center of each ramekin or four wells if using a large baking dish. Crack one egg into each well.
Final Bake: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve: Top with optional chopped fresh basil or sliced chives. Serve with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping. Enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired breakfast or brunch!
