Ingredients Needed

  • For the base:

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • For the cheese:
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • Seasoning:
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • For the eggs:
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional for topping:
  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

How to Make Baked Feta Eggs

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure everything bakes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Dish: If you prefer individual servings, divide the cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese into four oven-safe ramekins. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each one. For a single large dish, mix all veggies in one baking dish and place the feta in the center, then drizzle olive oil over everything.
  3. Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to mix.
  4. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and veggies. If using individual dishes, distribute it equally among them.
  5. Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or simply place your large baking dish in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes until the veggies are soft and feta is golden.
  6. Combine and Add Spinach: Once out of the oven, stir the mix until the feta blends with the veggies. Then fold in the chopped spinach until well combined.
  7. Add Eggs: Create a well in the middle of each ramekin (or four wells if using a large dish) and crack an egg into each well.
  8. Final Bake: Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Top with optional fresh herbs like basil or chives. Serve with crusty bread or pita for enjoyable dipping.

How to Serve Baked Feta Eggs

Serve your Baked Feta Eggs hot, straight from the oven. Pair it with crusty baguette slices, toast, or pita bread for perfect dipping. A light salad on the side can also complement the dish nicely.

How to Store Baked Feta Eggs

If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, then cover them with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven or microwave until heated through. Note that the texture of the eggs may change after reheating.

Tips to Make Baked Feta Eggs

  • Customize Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or even artichokes.
  • Feta Options: Crumbled feta can also be used if you prefer a different texture.
  • Spice Adjustment: Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice tolerance.
  • Baking Time: Check the eggs after 8 minutes for desired doneness, especially if you prefer firmer yolks.

Variations

  • Mediterranean Twist: Add olives or sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Herb Variations: Experiment with other herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
  • Protein Boost: Mix in cooked sausage or bacon for additional protein.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of feta?

Absolutely! Goat cheese or even mozzarella can work well, although they will change the flavor and creaminess of the dish.

How do I make this gluten-free?

This recipe is naturally gluten-free! Just ensure to serve it with gluten-free bread or crackers.

Is this dish freezer-friendly?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the baked mixture (without eggs). Reheat it and then add eggs just before baking if you plan on freezing.
