How to Make Baked Feta Eggs

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Veggies and Feta

If using individual ramekins, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta between four oven-safe dishes. Drizzle each with a tablespoon of olive oil. If using one large dish, combine all the vegetables in the baking dish and place the feta block in the center. Drizzle with olive oil.

Step 3: Season and Roast

In a small bowl, mix the oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle over the feta and vegetables. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.

Step 4: Stir and Add Spinach

Remove from the oven and stir everything together, allowing the feta to melt and mix into the veggies. Stir in the chopped baby spinach.

Step 5: Add the Eggs

Create a small well in the center of each ramekin (or four wells in the large dish). Crack an egg into each well.

Step 6: Bake Again

Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Top with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread, toast, or pita for dipping.

FAQs

Can I use a different cheese?
Yes! Goat cheese or ricotta can work, though they won’t have the same tangy, salty kick as feta.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?
You can swap feta for a dairy-free cheese alternative, though the texture and flavor may differ.

What if I don’t have ramekins?
A large baking dish works just as well—just make four wells for the eggs.

Can I add other vegetables?
Absolutely! Mushrooms, zucchini, or olives would be great additions.
