Can I make Baked Feta Eggs without tomatoes?

Yes. Swap in roasted red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, or a handful of spinach plus a splash of cream or olive oil so it does not feel dry.

How do I know when the eggs are done?

Look for set whites and yolks that still jiggle slightly. If you like firm yolks, give it a few extra minutes, but watch closely.

Can I use egg whites only?

You can, but they cook faster and can dry out. Pull them a little earlier and keep plenty of tomato and feta sauce around them.

What is the best dish size for this recipe?

Small and shallow is easiest. If the dish is too big, the sauce spreads out and the eggs can overcook around the edges.

Is this good for brunch guests?

Totally. Make a bigger dish, set out bread and toppings, and let everyone scoop their own. It feels special with almost no extra work.
