Inspired by the viral baked feta trend, this dish is oven-baked to perfection, with a rich, cheesy base and perfectly cooked eggs. Serve with toast, pita, or fresh greens for a satisfying meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)
  • Toast, pita, or crusty bread (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2: Assemble the Dish

  1. Scatter the crumbled feta cheese evenly in the dish.
  2. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and mix lightly.

Step 3: Bake the Feta Mixture

  1. Bake for 10 minutes, until the feta starts to soften and tomatoes are slightly roasted.

Step 4: Add the Eggs & Bake Again

  1. Remove the dish from the oven and create small wells in the feta mixture.
  2. Crack 4 eggs into the wells.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
  2. Serve immediately with toast, pita, or crusty bread to scoop up the creamy feta and eggs!

Notes

  • For Extra Flavor: Add chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives.
  • Spicy Option: Drizzle with hot sauce or add extra red pepper flakes.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve with a side of fresh greens or avocado slices
