Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Baked Feta Eggs:
Ingredients
- Feta cheese: 200g (about 7 oz), block or crumbled
- Eggs: 4 large
- Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved (optional)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Spinach: 2 cups fresh (optional)
- Salt and pepper: to taste
- Red pepper flakes: to taste (optional)
- Fresh herbs: chopped (e.g., parsley, dill, or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: In a baking dish, place the feta cheese in the center. If using cherry tomatoes, scatter them around the feta.
- Add Ingredients: Drizzle olive oil over the feta and tomatoes. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). If using spinach, add it around the feta and tomatoes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the feta is soft and slightly golden, and the tomatoes are blistered.
- Add the Eggs: Remove the dish from the oven. Carefully crack the eggs on top of the feta and tomatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
Enjoy!
This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. Enjoy the creamy feta with the richness of the eggs!
