Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Cherry or Grape Tomatoes Adds sweetness and acidity; other tomato varieties can be used or omit for a simpler dish.

  • 1 medium Red Onion Incorporates sharpness and flavor depth; shallots can be used for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall aroma and flavor; fresh minced garlic is preferred over powder.
  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese Key ingredient for creaminess and tanginess; swap with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness; use extra virgin for better flavor, or substitute with avocado oil.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Feta Eggs
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Set your oven rack in the middle position and prepare your ingredients.
  2. In a large baking dish or individual ramekins, distribute the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic evenly. Nestle the feta cheese in the center and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Mix together the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle over the feta and vegetable mix.
  4. Place the baking dish or ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and stir to combine. Fold in the fresh baby spinach.
  6. Create small wells in the mixture for your eggs and crack the eggs into each well.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, keeping an eye on the eggs.
  8. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped herbs over the baked feta eggs before serving.
  9. Carefully remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with crusty bread or toast.
