Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (Adjust quantity based on servings.)
- 8 ounces feta cheese (Use block feta for a creamier texture.)
- 2 handfuls cherry or grape tomatoes (These should be ripe for best flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (Enough to coat the dish.)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (Or a pinch of garlic powder.)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (Or Italian seasoning.)
- to taste salt and pepper (Go easy on salt as feta is salty.)
- 1 cup spinach, optional (Add in for extra greens.)
- 1 medium bell pepper, optional (Chopped.)
- 1 small red onion, optional (Chopped.)
- to taste olives, optional (For added flavor.)
For Serving
- 2 slices toasted bread (Sourdough or crusty bread works best.)
- 2 pieces pita (Or roasted potatoes.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add tomatoes to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, add garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Nestle the feta in the center and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
Baking
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until tomatoes start to burst and feta is soft.
- Remove from oven, make wells in the mixture, and crack eggs into the wells.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, depending on your desired egg yolk consistency.
Serving
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired, and serve with toast or pita.
Notes
Let sit for 2 minutes after baking for better serving. Can be prepared ahead by mixing tomatoes, garlic, and feta the night before and baking in the morning.
