Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

Cheese and Eggs

  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

Spices and Oils

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the ingredients evenly.
  2. Assemble Ingredients: If using individual ramekins, divide tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese evenly among 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each. If using one large baking dish, combine all vegetables in the dish, place the feta cheese in the center, and drizzle olive oil over everything.
  3. Prepare Spice Mix: In a small bowl, stir together dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to evenly mix the spices.
  4. Add Spices: Sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the feta and vegetables, dividing equally if using individual dishes.
  5. Bake First Stage: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or place the large dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the feta to begin melting.
  6. Mix and Add Spinach: Remove the dishes from the oven and stir to combine the softened veggies and melted feta uniformly. Add chopped baby spinach and stir it evenly throughout.
  7. Create Wells and Add Eggs: Make wells in the center of each ramekin or four wells in the large baking dish. Crack one egg into each well carefully.
  8. Bake Second Stage: Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
  9. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Garnish with optional chopped fresh basil or chives for brightness and herbaceous flavor. Serve warm with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.

Notes

  • Ramekins should hold at least 10 ounces or more to accommodate filling without overflow.
  • If using one large baking dish, an 8×8 or 9×11 inch pan is recommended for even cooking.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes quantity based on your desired spice level.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the eggs at their best texture.
