Ingredients

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional, for softer yolks)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. Roast the tomatoes: Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Spread evenly in the dish and bake for 10 minutes until they soften and release juices.
3. Add the feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the roasted tomatoes.
4. Add the spinach: Layer fresh spinach over the feta, allowing it to wilt slightly from the heat of the dish.
5. Crack in the eggs: Make four small wells in the mixture and gently crack one egg into each space. Add a drizzle of milk or cream if desired for extra creaminess.
6. Bake the eggs: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread or pita.

Tips & Variations

• Add spice: Sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle hot honey for a kick.
• Use kale instead of spinach for a heartier version.
• Try different cheeses: Goat cheese or ricotta make great alternatives.
• Meal prep tip: Bake individual portions in ramekins for easy reheating.
• Make it Mediterranean: Add olives or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth.

Storage & Freezer Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 8–10 minutes or in the microwave for 1 minute.
• Freezing not recommended since eggs and feta can lose texture after thawing.

Serving & Pairing Ideas

• Serve with warm sourdough toast or toasted pita for dipping.
• Pair with a fresh fruit salad or Greek yogurt parfait for a complete brunch.
• Enjoy alongside a cup of herbal tea or a latte for a relaxing morning meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use crumbled feta from a container?

Yes, pre-crumbled feta works fine. However, block feta in brine tends to be creamier and more flavorful, giving the dish a richer taste.

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms bake beautifully in this dish. Just make sure to sauté them first to release moisture before baking.

How do I make the yolks perfectly soft?

Check the eggs after 8 minutes of baking. Remove the dish once the whites are just set but the yolks still have a slight jiggle. They’ll continue cooking slightly as the dish cools.

Can I make this for meal prep?

Yes! Bake the eggs slightly less than fully set, refrigerate, and reheat later. They’ll finish cooking when warmed, maintaining a soft center.
