Description
Creamy baked feta melts into juicy tomatoes and tender spinach, topped with perfectly set eggs for a wholesome and satisfying Mediterranean-inspired breakfast. This one-dish meal is comforting, fresh, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
1 block feta cheese (7–8 ounces)
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large eggs
Salt to taste
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the block of feta in the center of a small baking dish. Scatter the cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach around it.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic over the tomatoes and drizzle everything with olive oil. Add dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta turns soft and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and gently stir the tomatoes and spinach slightly around the feta, keeping the feta mostly intact for creamy pockets.
- Create four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
- Remove from the oven, add a small pinch of salt if needed, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.
Notes
Add sliced red onions or roasted red peppers for extra sweetness and depth.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top before adding the eggs for extra richness.
For a heartier version, add cooked sausage or crispy bacon crumbles.
To keep it low carb, serve as is or with a side of avocado instead of bread.
Substitute frozen spinach if needed, but thaw and squeeze out excess moisture first.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently at 350°F until warmed through.
