Ingredients

Units Scale

Baked Feta Base

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional for topping - chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the vegetables and baking the eggs evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baked Feta: Evenly divide the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese into four oven-safe dishes. Drizzle each dish with olive oil, then sprinkle the combined dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the feta and vegetables for balanced seasoning.
  3. Bake: Place the dishes in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. This allows the vegetables to roast and the feta to soften and melt. After 25 minutes, carefully remove the dishes from the oven, stir in the chopped baby spinach to combine, and create four small wells in the mixture for the eggs.
  4. Add Eggs: Crack one large egg into each well in the vegetable and feta mixture. Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred level of doneness.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dishes from the oven and optionally sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or fresh chives for a burst of herbaceous flavor. Serve warm, ideally with crusty bread for dipping into the rich, flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute cherry tomatoes with grape or roma tomatoes if preferred.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to your desired spice level or omit for a milder dish.
  • Use fresh oregano instead of dried for a brighter herbal flavor, adding it in after baking to preserve freshness.
  • The cooking time for eggs can be adjusted to achieve runny or fully set yolks depending on preference.
  • This recipe can be doubled to serve more people by using larger baking dishes or multiple smaller dishes.
