Introduction

Baked Feta Eggs is a vibrant and flavorful dish perfect for breakfast or brunch. Roasted tomatoes, peppers, and feta come together with baked eggs for a warm, comforting meal that’s easy to prepare and delicious to eat.

The image shows a white round ramekin filled with a baked dish layered with cooked spinach, diced tomatoes, and chunks of orange and red vegetables at the bottom. On top, there is a perfectly cooked egg with a bright yellow yolk in the center, surrounded by white, slightly melted cheese mixed with herbs and small green chopped scallions scattered over everything. A gold spoon is partially dipped into the dish on the right side, and the ramekin sits on a white round plate with two pieces of toasted bread next to it.

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
Optional: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: If using individual ramekins, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each. If using one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta in the center. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and vegetables.
Step 3: In a small bowl, stir together dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the feta and vegetables, dividing evenly if using individual dishes.
Step 4: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or place the large dish directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and stir gently to combine the feta with the vegetables. Add the chopped spinach and stir until incorporated.
Step 6: Create wells in the mixture for the eggs—one well per ramekin or four wells in the large dish. Crack the eggs into these wells.
Step 7: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the eggs are set to your liking.
Step 8: Top with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread, toast, or pita for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Use whole milk or goat’s milk feta for a creamier texture.
Add sliced kalamata olives or capers for an extra briny flavor.
For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce after baking.
Swap baby spinach with kale or arugula if preferred.
Serve with warm pita or naan bread instead of baguette for a different twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. The eggs may become firmer after reheating, so keep an eye on texture.

FAQs

Can I prepare this recipe in advance?

You can assemble the vegetables and spices ahead of time and refrigerate, but add the eggs just before baking to ensure they cook perfectly.

What if I don’t have individual ramekins?

A single larger baking dish works well; just create separate wells for the eggs so they cook evenly.
