Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g feta cheese (block or chunks)
  • 250g fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 100g baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or oregano (or fresh herbs to taste)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and prepare it for layering your ingredients.
  2. Arrange the base: Spread fresh baby spinach evenly across the bottom of the dish. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the spinach for balanced roasting.
  3. Add seasonings and feta: Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, then add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs like thyme or oregano. Nestle chunks or a block of feta cheese on top, allowing it to soften and infuse the dish with tanginess.
  4. Bake before adding eggs: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften and release juices, the spinach wilt, and the feta start to melt and brown slightly.
  5. Add eggs and finish baking: Carefully crack eggs onto the partially cooked vegetables, spacing them evenly. Return the dish to the oven for an additional 8–12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny or cooked to your preference.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes and spinach make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
  • Watch the eggs closely: Oven times vary; check eggs early to achieve your favorite doneness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: This allows the vegetables to roast evenly without steaming.
  • Choose the right feta: A quality, crumbly feta adds great texture and melts nicely.
  • Serve immediately: Best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven to savor the creamy textures.
