  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Dairy

  • 8 ounces feta cheese

Oils & Seasonings

  • 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

Other

  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the vegetables, feta, and eggs.
  2. Prepare Bakeware: If using ramekins or individual dishes, distribute the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly among four oven-safe bowls. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over each dish. For a single large baking dish, combine the vegetables and garlic, place the feta in the center, and drizzle olive oil over all ingredients.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this spice blend evenly over the vegetables and feta in each dish.
  4. Bake Vegetables and Feta: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or put the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the feta starts to melt.
  5. Stir and Add Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven. Stir the contents to mix the melted feta evenly with the vegetables. Add the chopped baby spinach and combine thoroughly.
  6. Crack the Eggs: Create a small well in the center of each portion (or four wells if using one large dish), then crack one egg into each well.
  7. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny or cooked to your preference.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Finish by topping with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve warm with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping to enjoy a flavorful and hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the baking time slightly depending on how runny or firm you prefer your egg yolks.
  • For vegan or dairy-free diets, try replacing feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • The spice blend can be customized to taste – add more red pepper flakes for extra heat or substitute herbs such as rosemary for oregano.
  • Using individual ramekins makes portion control easier and adds an elegant presentation for brunch gatherings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated, though eggs may become firmer when reheated.
