A quick and easy baked egg dish featuring creamy feta cheese, sautéed spinach, and sweet roasted tomatoes, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 ounces feta cheese block
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and dried oregano. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet or in your baking dish. Roast for 12–15 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. While tomatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In your oven-safe dish or cast iron skillet, place the block of feta in the center. Drizzle lemon juice over it and sprinkle with a bit of oregano.
  5. Around the feta, spread the sautéed spinach evenly. Nestle the roasted tomatoes on top or around the spinach. Crack the eggs carefully over the spinach and feta, spacing them evenly.
  6. Season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny. For firmer yolks, bake closer to 18 minutes.
  8. Let rest for a minute or two before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or warm pita.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best results. Avoid overbaking to keep yolks creamy. Roasting tomatoes separately enhances sweetness and flavor. Use a good-quality, semi-soft feta for best creamy texture. If feta dries during baking, spoon released liquid back over eggs to maintain creaminess. Cracking eggs into a small bowl before adding to dish can help avoid breaking yolks.
