These baked feta eggs with tomatoes, spinach, and aromatic herbs make a delicious and nutritious breakfast or brunch option. Baked in individual ramekins or a large dish, this recipe combines creamy feta, fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs for a comforting, flavorful meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Cheese

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

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Other Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional topping: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dish.
  2. Assemble Veggies and Feta: If using individual ramekins, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each. If using a single large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta cheese in the center; drizzle olive oil evenly over the top.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the feta and vegetables in your dish or ramekins.
  4. Bake Initial Mixture: Place ramekins on a baking sheet or put the large dish directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes to soften vegetables and begin melting the feta.
  5. Incorporate Spinach: Remove the dish(es) from the oven and gently stir the mixture to blend the feta with the vegetables evenly. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir until combined.
  6. Add the Eggs: Create wells in the mixture (one per ramekin or four in a large dish). Crack one egg into each well carefully.
  7. Final Bake: Return the dish(es) to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve hot with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality feta for the best flavor and creaminess.
  • Adjust the baking time to your preferred egg consistency—shorter for runny yolks, longer for firmer eggs.
  • Optional fresh herbs add a bright, fresh flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Can be made in advance without eggs; add them and finish baking just before serving.
