Creamy feta and baked eggs with tomatoes, peppers, and herbs for a protein-packed Mediterranean breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Cheese & Dairy
01 - 4.2 oz feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled
02 - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
→ Vegetables
03 - 1 medium tomato, diced
04 - ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
05 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 clove garlic, minced
07 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
→ Eggs
08 - 4 large eggs
→ Spices & Seasoning
09 - 1 tsp dried oregano
10 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
11 - ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
12 - 1 tbsp olive oil
13 - Salt, to taste
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 - Drizzle olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish.
03 - Sauté onions and bell pepper over medium heat in the same skillet for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Add tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, allowing tomatoes to release their juices and soften.
05 - Remove from heat. Stir in feta cheese (and optional Greek yogurt); spread the mixture evenly across the skillet.
06 - Using a spoon, make 4 small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well.
07 - Sprinkle lightly with salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and a drizzle of olive oil.
08 - Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the oven. Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until eggs are set to your desired consistency.
09 - Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything comes together in one pan, which means zero washing up and more time for coffee
- The way salty feta melts into runny egg yolks creates the most luxurious sauce without any heavy cream
02 -
- The eggs continue cooking after you pull them out, so remove them while the whites look slightly underdone
- Using a room temperature baking dish helps everything cook evenly
03 -
- Let the feta sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it melts more evenly
- Use individual ramekins instead of one big skillet if everyone likes their eggs cooked differently
