Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Dairy

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Oils & Spices

  • 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

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the vegetables and feta.
  2. Prepare Ingredients for Baking: If using four individual ramekins or oven-safe dishes, divide the tomatoes, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese evenly among them. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each dish. If using one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic evenly in the dish and place the feta cheese in the center. Drizzle all the olive oil over the ingredients.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create a spice mixture.
  4. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and vegetables. If preparing individual servings, divide the spice mix equally among the four dishes.
  5. Bake Vegetables and Feta: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or place the large baking dish directly into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the feta to become creamy.
  6. Combine and Add Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and gently stir to mix the baked feta evenly with the vegetables. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir until it is evenly distributed and slightly wilted from the heat.
  7. Prepare for Eggs: Create a small well in the center of each ramekin, or four wells if using one large baking dish, and carefully crack one egg into each well.
  8. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with optional chopped fresh basil or chives before serving to add a fresh herbal note.

Notes

  • You can use either individual ramekins or one large baking dish depending on serving preference.
  • Adjust the baking time for eggs if you prefer firmer or runnier yolks.
  • Fresh herbs such as basil or chives make a great garnish to brighten the dish.
  • This recipe can be made ahead by preparing the veggie and feta mixture in advance; add eggs and bake just before serving.
  • For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes amount to taste.
