How to Make Baked Eggs with Feta and Vegetables

Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F so it’s nice and hot for roasting.

Step 2: Assemble the Veggies and Feta
If using ramekins, divide the tomatoes, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly into four small oven-safe dishes.

Drizzle each with olive oil.

If using a large baking dish, mix the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic together, and place the feta cheese in the center.

Drizzle olive oil over the top.

Step 3: Season the Dish
In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

prinkle this spice mix over the veggies and feta (divide evenly if using ramekins).

Step 4: Bake the Base
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet (for easier transfer) or put the baking dish directly into the oven.

Bake for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the feta is warm and golden.

Step 5: Stir and Add Spinach
Remove from the oven and gently stir to combine everything, creating a creamy vegetable-feta mixture.

Add chopped baby spinach and stir until it begins to wilt.

Step 6: Add the Eggs
Use a spoon to make a small well in the center of each ramekin, or make four wells in the large dish. Carefully crack one egg into each well.

Step 7: Bake Again
Return the dishes to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Top with fresh chopped basil or chives if desired.

Serve hot with crusty bread, pita, or toast for dipping.

What to Serve It With

Toasted sourdough or crusty baguette

Warm pita or naan bread

Storage & Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days
