Baked Feta Eggs are a Mediterranean-inspired breakfast featuring roasted vegetables, creamy feta cheese, and perfectly baked eggs. This savory and nourishing dish delivers a balance of protein, healthy fats, and bold flavor—ideal for an easy yet elegant breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces feta cheese (block or crumbled)
  • 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 (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, green onions, or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using ramekins, divide tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta among 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each dish. If using one large baking dish, add all vegetables and feta, then drizzle all 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over the ingredients.
  4. Place ramekins on a baking sheet or place the baking dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, until vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized.
  5. Remove from the oven and stir to combine the melted feta with the roasted vegetables.
  6. Stir in chopped spinach until well incorporated.
  7. Create a well in the center of each ramekin (or four in a large dish) and crack one egg into each well.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny.
  9. Top with optional fresh herbs and serve warm with crusty bread, pita, or toast.

Notes

  • Use high-quality block feta for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Place ramekins on a baking sheet to prevent spills and make handling easier.
  • Substitute goat cheese or Boursin for feta if desired.
  • Swap red onion for green onions or shallots for a milder flavor.
  • Try other vegetables like zucchini, leeks, or mushrooms for variety.
