Description
A Mediterranean-inspired baked breakfast featuring creamy feta, juicy cherry tomatoes, and tender spinach, all topped with perfectly baked eggs. This dish is comforting, wholesome, and ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- Fresh spinach: 2 cups, roughly chopped
- Feta cheese: 1/2 cup, crumbled
- Eggs: 4 large
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Dried oregano: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the tomato mixture evenly in your baking dish and scatter the feta cheese over the top.
- Assemble the Dish: Bake for 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Then, stir in the spinach and make four small wells.
- Cook to Perfection: Crack one egg into each well and return to the oven for another 8–10 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and drizzle with a touch of olive oil. Add extra pepper or chili flakes if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with toasted bread or pita to soak up every flavorful bite.
Notes
- Use a block of feta in brine for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Do not overbake the eggs; slightly runny yolks keep the dish rich and velvety.
- Reheat leftovers gently to preserve texture and flavor.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
