Description

A vibrant Mediterranean breakfast featuring baked eggs nestled in a savory tomato and spinach mixture with creamy feta cheese. This hearty dish combines fresh cherry tomatoes, spinach, and tangy feta baked together with eggs, making it an easy yet flavorful meal perfect for brunch or breakfast. Serve it warm with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.


Ingredients

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Dairy and Eggs

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Vegetables with Seasonings: In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables and spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add Feta Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the tomato and spinach mixture to add a creamy, tangy flavor layer.
  4. Create Wells and Add Eggs: Using a spoon, create four small wells in the mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well, making sure the yolks remain intact.
  5. Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preferred doneness.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately, ideally alongside crusty bread to enjoy the flavorful juices.

Notes

  • Add olives to the tomato and spinach mixture for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Serve with toasted sourdough, pita bread, or crusty baguette for a complete meal.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the creamy feta and perfectly baked eggs.
