Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
- Toasted bread for serving
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and add the halved cherry tomatoes along with minced garlic. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes become softened and slightly caramelized.
- Add Feta and Eggs: Remove the skillet from the oven and evenly crumble the feta cheese over the roasted tomatoes. Carefully crack the eggs on top, taking care not to break the yolks for a beautiful presentation and texture.
- Season and Bake: Sprinkle the dish with red pepper flakes (if using), dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately with toasted bread for an enjoyable dipping experience that complements the rich flavors of the dish.
Notes
- Add fresh spinach or chopped bell peppers before baking to include extra vegetables and nutrients.
- For a creamier texture, try using whipped feta cheese instead of regular crumbled feta.
