Ingredients

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces feta cheese
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped baby spinach
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In oven-safe dishes or one large baking dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.
Step 3: Mix the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the vegetable and feta mixture.
Step 4: Bake for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the feta is slightly softened.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and stir in the baby spinach. Create four small wells in the mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well.
Step 6: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh herbs like basil or parsley for garnish to add brightness and color.
Swap baby spinach with kale or arugula for a different leafy green flavor.
For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of smoked paprika.
Serve with crusty bread or toasted pita to soak up the delicious juices.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid overcooking the eggs. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be eaten cold or at room temperature as well.
