Baked Feta Eggs is a colorful, comforting dish made with roasted tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, creamy baked feta, and perfectly cooked eggs. Everything bakes together in one dish for a hearty Mediterranean-inspired breakfast, brunch, or light dinner.

Ingredients

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 small red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces feta cheese

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

1 cup chopped baby spinach

4 large eggs

Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using individual ramekins, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta evenly among 4 oven-safe dishes and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon olive oil. If using one baking dish, add the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the dish, place the feta in the center, and drizzle all with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the vegetables and feta.
  4. Place ramekins on a baking sheet if using. Bake for 25 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the feta is warm and slightly melted.
  5. Remove from the oven and stir to combine the softened feta with the roasted vegetables. Add the chopped spinach and mix until incorporated.
  6. Create a well in the center of each ramekin or make 4 wells in the baking dish. Crack one egg into each well.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  8. Top with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired and serve warm with crusty bread, toast, or pita.

Notes

  • Use kale or arugula instead of spinach if desired; kale may need slightly longer to soften.
  • Add extra vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or chopped artichoke hearts for more flavor and texture.
  • Increase red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
  • Crumbled goat cheese can replace feta for a tangier flavor.
  • For a heartier meal, add cooked sausage or shredded chicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through or microwave individual portions briefly.
  • For best texture, bake the eggs just before serving.
