Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs

Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs

Mediterranean baked feta eggs are a simple yet flavorful dish where eggs are baked in a bed of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and aromatic herbs. The feta melts into a creamy, salty base, while the eggs cook to perfection — runny yolks and soft whites — creating a balanced, protein-rich meal. It’s often enjoyed with crusty bread or pita, making it a staple in Mediterranean-inspired breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

  • Crusty bread or pita for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.

Step 2: Prepare the base

Add cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the dish. Toss well to coat and spread evenly.

Step 3: Bake the vegetables

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

Step 4: Add feta and eggs

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the tomato mixture. Make small wells and carefully crack eggs into each one.

Step 5: Bake until eggs are set

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8–12 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and drizzle with extra olive oil. Serve warm with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
