Ingredients
  

For the Veggies
  • 2 cups Cherry or Grape Tomatoes Provides juiciness and freshness; substitute with any seasonal tomatoes.
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and crunch; green or yellow peppers can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Offers a mild pungency and sweetness; can substitute with yellow onion.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor; fresh garlic is preferred, but powder works in a pinch.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps with baking; use extra virgin for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Provides a Mediterranean herb flavor; thyme can be a good substitute.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances overall flavor; adjust according to personal taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme Adds earthy notes; fresh thyme is a good alternative if available.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper For spice and warmth; white pepper can also be used.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adds heat; omit for a milder dish.
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach Adds nutrition and color; can substitute with kale or Swiss chard.
For the Eggs
  • 8 large Large Eggs The star ingredient creating the dish’s heartiness; egg whites can be used to lower calories.

  • Baking Sheet
  • Ramekins or large oven-safe dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Feta Eggs
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your baking vessels—either individual ramekins or a large oven-safe dish.
  2. For individual ramekins, divide the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic into four dishes. If using a larger dish, mix all these vegetables together.
  3. Crumble a generous portion of feta cheese in the center, then drizzle everything with olive oil.
  4. In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this blend over the veggies and feta.
  5. Place the ramekins or large dish in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until the veggies are soft and the feta is melting.
  6. Remove from the oven, stir to combine melted feta with veggies, and fold in the baby spinach until it wilts slightly.
  7. Make small wells for the eggs and crack large eggs gently into each well.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh basil or chives over the top and serve warm with crusty bread.
