Ingredients

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • Optional for topping – chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Dairy

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Oils and Spices

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the vegetables and feta.
  2. Prepare Individual Dishes: If using individual ramekins or oven-safe dishes, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 dishes. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Prepare Single Large Dish: Alternatively, in one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic, and place the block of feta cheese in the center. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables and feta.
  4. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, stir together dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the spice mix.
  5. Season Veggies and Feta: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the feta and vegetables uniformly. If using individual servings, distribute the spices evenly among dishes.
  6. Bake Initial Mixture: Place ramekins on a baking sheet or the baking dish directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes to roast the vegetables and melt the feta.
  7. Mix in Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and stir to evenly combine the feta with the roasted vegetables. Add the chopped spinach and gently stir until incorporated.
  8. Create Wells for Eggs: Make a small well in the center of each ramekin, or four wells in the large baking dish, to hold the eggs without spilling.
  9. Add Eggs: Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
  10. Bake with Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny or to desired doneness.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and optionally top with freshly chopped basil or chives. Serve hot with crusty baguette, toast, or pita bread for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use either individual ramekins or one large baking dish depending on serving preferences.
  • Adjust baking time for eggs according to your preferred doneness.
  • Fresh herbs such as basil or chives add a bright finish but are optional.
  • Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the runny yolks and creamy feta texture.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
