Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 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
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Seasonings and Oils

  • 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

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the vegetables, feta, and eggs.
  2. Prepare Vegetables and Feta: If using individual ramekins or oven-safe dishes, divide the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese equally among four dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each. Alternatively, in one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic, place the feta in the center, and drizzle olive oil over everything.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
  4. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and vegetables, either dividing it among the four dishes or spreading it over the large baking dish.
  5. Bake Vegetables and Feta: Place ramekins on a baking sheet or place the baking dish directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes until the feta softens and the vegetables start to release their juices.
  6. Incorporate Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and stir well to combine the softened feta with the vegetables. Stir in the chopped baby spinach until evenly mixed.
  7. Create Wells for Eggs: Make a small well in the middle of each ramekin (or four wells if using one dish). Carefully crack one large egg into each well, making sure the yolk stays intact.
  8. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or cook to your preferred doneness.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve immediately with crusty baguette, toast, or pita bread for dipping into the flavorful mixture.

Notes

  • Use ripe cherry or grape tomatoes for the best sweetness and juiciness.
  • If you prefer firmer eggs, extend the baking time by a few minutes.
  • For a spicier version, add extra red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with a side salad for a more substantial meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven.
