Description

Say hello to your new favorite brunch dish—baked feta eggs! This dish brings together rich, creamy feta cheese, jammy roasted tomatoes, tender baby spinach, and perfectly cooked eggs, all in one cozy little ramekin or dish. Whether you're feeding guests or treating yourself to a special solo breakfast, this recipe delivers a Mediterranean-inspired experience that's light, flavorful, and seriously satisfying.


Ingredients

  • Eggs – Go for large, fresh eggs for best results.

  • Feta cheese – A block is ideal, though crumbles work in a pinch.

  • Cherry tomatoes – Roasting makes them pop with juicy sweetness.

  • Red bell pepper – Adds color and crunch.

  • Red onion – Brings depth and a touch of sharpness.

  • Baby spinach – For a pop of green and nutrition.

  • Garlic – You can’t go wrong with fresh cloves.

  • Olive oil – Extra virgin adds the best flavor.

  • Dried herbs – Oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, plus salt and pepper.


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the vegetables roast properly and the eggs set just right.

Step 2: In your ramekins or baking dish, add chopped cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Crumble or slice in your feta.

Step 3: Drizzle generously with olive oil, then sprinkle in oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Give everything a gentle stir.

Step 4: Place ramekins or your baking dish on a baking sheet and roast for about 20–25 minutes. You’re looking for the tomatoes to blister and the feta to soften.

Step 5: Once the veggies are nicely roasted, take the dish out and stir in the baby spinach. It’ll wilt instantly from the residual heat.

Step 6: Make a little space in the middle of the dish or each ramekin and crack in your eggs. Be careful not to break the yolks.

Step 7: Return to the oven and bake another 8–10 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. For set whites and runny yolks, check around the 9-minute mark.

Step 8: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, chives, or a dusting of chili flakes for added heat.

Step 9: Serve hot with crusty bread or toasted pita to scoop up all that savory goodness.

Notes

  • Keep the ramekin central — A centered, white ramekin draws attention to the rich textures of the dish, especially the bubbling feta, vibrant tomatoes, and golden yolk.

  • Use soft, directional lighting — Simulate natural morning light from a side window to enhance warmth and cast soft shadows. Avoid harsh or overhead light to preserve texture.
