# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
→ Vegetables
02 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
03 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
04 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
→ Eggs
06 - 4 large eggs
→ Pantry
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian herb mix
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
10 - Pinch of chili flakes
# How-To Steps:
01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a medium oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Add baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
03 - Scatter crumbled feta evenly over the vegetable mixture.
04 - Drizzle the remaining olive oil over top and sprinkle with dried oregano and chili flakes if desired.
05 - Create four small wells in the mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well, spacing evenly apart.
06 - Transfer skillet or dish to oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until egg whites are just set while the yolks remain slightly runny.
07 - Remove from oven and let rest briefly before serving warm.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- This dish transforms a handful of simple ingredients into a meal that looks and tastes restaurant-worthy.
- Baked feta brings a creamy, salty punch that never fails to spark joy at the table.
02 -
- The eggs turn rubbery fast if baked too long—check early, as oven times vary.
- Layering the feta over, not under, the veggies gives you that golden finish and avoids sogginess.
03 -
- Crack eggs into a cup first, then slip into wells to prevent shell bits and broken yolks.
- Always serve soon after baking—this dish is best when the cheese is warm and the eggs are perfectly set.
