Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • ½ small red onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 ounces feta cheese

  • 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

  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach

  • 4 large eggs

  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh basil or chives

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Assemble vegetables & feta

    • Individual servings: Divide tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta among 4 oven-safe ramekins (10 oz or larger). Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

    • One large dish: Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in an 8×8 or 9×11 baking dish. Place feta in the center and drizzle olive oil over everything.

  • Season: In a small bowl, mix oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over vegetables and feta.

  • Bake vegetables: Place ramekins on a baking sheet (if using) and bake for 25 minutes.

  • Mix & add spinach: Remove from oven, stir to combine, then fold in spinach until just wilted.

  • Add eggs: Make a well in the center of each ramekin (or 4 wells in the baking dish) and crack an egg into each.

  • Finish baking: Return to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are set to your liking.

  • Serve: Top with fresh basil or chives if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread, toast, or pita for dipping.

Notes

  • Egg doneness: For runnier yolks, bake closer to 7–8 minutes after adding eggs; for firmer yolks, go the full 10–12 minutes.

  • Make ahead: Roast the veggies and feta in advance. Add spinach and eggs when ready to serve, then bake until done.

  • Extra flavor: A drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze just before serving adds depth.
