Ingredients
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ small red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
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 toppings: Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the Vegetables and Feta:
-
For individual servings, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese among 4 oven-safe ramekins. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each.
-
For a single large dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in a large baking dish (8×8 or 9×11). Place the feta in the center and drizzle with olive oil.
-
-
Add the Spices: In a small bowl, mix the oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the vegetables and feta.
-
Bake the Vegetables and Feta:
-
For individual ramekins, place them on a baking sheet, or place the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes until the feta is softened, and the vegetables are cooked down.
-
-
Add the Spinach and Eggs:
-
Remove the dishes from the oven and stir the feta and vegetables together. Add the chopped spinach and mix it in.
-
Create a well in the center of each ramekin, or four wells in the large dish. Crack an egg into each well.
-
-
Final Bake: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
-
Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh herbs like basil or chives. Serve with crusty bread, pita, or toast for dipping.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven or microwave, but be careful not to overcook the eggs.
