Ingredients
-
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 for topping: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano, sea salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
-
Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
-
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and burst, and the feta is golden and slightly browned.
-
Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the vegetables and feta together, creating a creamy mixture.
-
Add the chopped spinach and mix it in, then make four small wells in the mixture.
-
Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
-
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
-
Garnish with fresh basil or chives if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
For a more well-done egg, leave the dish in the oven a little longer until the yolks reach your desired consistency.
-
This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread for dipping into the eggs and feta mixture.
