Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chopped baby spinach
- 4 large eggs
- Optional for topping: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Prepare the Base: In the baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to evenly coat.
- Add the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetable mixture.
- Bake the Vegetables and Feta: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes start to burst and the feta softens.
- Add the Spinach and Eggs: Remove the dish from the oven and stir in the chopped baby spinach. Make four small wells in the mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well.
- Bake Until Eggs Are Set: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with chopped fresh basil or chives. Serve hot with toasted bread or pita.
Notes
- For a firmer egg yolk, bake for an extra 2-3 minutes.
- If you’re using a larger baking dish, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
