Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs (Printable)

A flavorful Mediterranean dish featuring baked feta, cherry tomatoes, and eggs with aromatic herbs.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
02 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 small red bell pepper, sliced

→ Dairy & Eggs

05 - 7 ounces feta cheese block
06 - 4 large eggs

→ Pantry & Seasonings

07 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
08 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
10 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
14 - Crusty bread, to serve (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - In a medium baking dish, mix cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the vegetable mixture.
04 - Bake for 15 minutes until vegetables soften and feta edges begin to brown.
05 - Remove the dish from the oven. Create four small wells around the feta and crack one egg into each well.
06 - Return the dish to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
07 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The feta gets creamy and tangy in the oven while the vegetables turn sweet and concentrated
  • You can throw everything together in ten minutes and let the oven do the rest
  • Runny yolks create their own sauce when you tear through crusty bread
02 -
  • The eggs keep cooking after you pull them out, so remove the dish when the whites look slightly underdone
  • Make sure your baking dish is deep enough that the eggs do not spread too much while baking
03 -
  • Take the eggs out of the fridge twenty minutes before you start cooking
  • Use a baking dish that goes straight from oven to table for fewer dishes
