Fresh baby spinach and eggs are added toward the end and baked until perfectly set. This wholesome, savory dish is perfect served with crusty bread for dipping.

Ingredients

Vegetables & Cheese

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

Oils & Spices

  • 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

Other

  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional for topping - chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s fully heated for roasting the vegetables and feta cheese evenly.
  2. Prepare Vegetables and Feta: If using individual ramekins, divide the cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, minced garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over each dish. If using one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic, place the feta in the center, and drizzle all the olive oil over the feta and vegetables.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to blend the spices well.
  4. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and vegetable mixture or among the individual ramekins.
  5. Bake Initial Mixture: Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the oven, or place the large baking dish directly inside. Bake for 25 minutes to roast the vegetables and soften the feta cheese.
  6. Mix in Spinach: Carefully remove the dishes from the oven. Stir the ingredients to combine the soft feta evenly with the roasted vegetables. Add the chopped baby spinach and stir until just combined.
  7. Create Wells and Add Eggs: Using a spoon, create a well in the center of each ramekin or make four wells in the large dish. Crack one egg into each well, making sure the yolks remain intact.
  8. Bake Eggs: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny or cooked to your preference.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and optionally top with chopped fresh basil or chives. Serve warm with crusty baguette, toast, or pita bread for dipping into the flavorful baked eggs and vegetables.

Notes

  • Using individual ramekins allows for personalized servings and easier portion control.
  • Adjust the baking time slightly if you prefer firmer or runnier egg yolks.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or chives add a lovely fresh flavor but are optional.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp salad or light fruit side for a balanced meal.
  • Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
