• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces feta cheese
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

4. In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Tips & Tricks

• Use ripe tomatoes: Cherry or grape tomatoes become especially juicy and flavorful as they roast.
• Watch the eggs closely: For softer yolks, begin checking the eggs toward the end of the 10-minute baking time.
• Adjust the spice: Reduce the red pepper flakes for a milder dish or add a little more for extra heat.
• Use block feta when possible: It melts and softens beautifully while retaining some creamy texture.
• Don’t skip the olive oil: It helps the vegetables roast and brings the feta and seasonings together.
• Add greens: Baby spinach works well, but chopped kale can also be used. Allow tougher greens a little extra time to soften.
• Make it heartier: Serve with warm pita, toasted sourdough, or another crusty bread.
• For individual portions: Ramekins make serving especially easy and give each person their own baked egg.

FAQ

Can I make baked eggs with feta in one large dish?

Yes. Combine the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic in one oven-safe baking dish, place the feta in the center, and bake as directed. After stirring in the spinach, make four wells and crack an egg into each one.

Can I use crumbled feta for this feta egg bake?

Yes, crumbled feta can be used. However, a block of feta placed in the center of the dish creates a particularly creamy texture as it warms and combines with the roasted vegetables.

How do I keep the egg yolks runny?

Start checking the eggs after about 8 minutes during the second baking stage. Remove the dish when the whites are set but the yolks still have a slight jiggle.

Can I make Mediterranean baked eggs ahead of time?

The roasted feta and vegetable mixture can be prepared ahead, but the eggs are best baked just before serving. This gives you fresher eggs and better control over the yolk texture.

What should I serve with baked feta eggs?

Crusty baguette, toast, sourdough, or pita are excellent choices. The bread is especially good for scooping up the creamy feta, roasted vegetables, and egg yolk.

Can I make this recipe less spicy?

Absolutely. Simply reduce or omit the red pepper flakes. The oregano, thyme, garlic, feta, and roasted vegetables will still provide plenty of flavor.

Storage

Refrigerator: Allow leftovers to cool, then transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Freezing is not recommended for the finished eggs because the texture of the eggs, feta, and vegetables can become watery or grainy after thawing.

Reheating: Reheat refrigerated leftovers gently in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or use the microwave in short intervals. Avoid overheating, as this can make the eggs rubbery.
