How to Make Baked Feta Eggs

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 8 ounces feta cheese
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 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
• 1 cup chopped baby spinach
• 4 large eggs
• Optional for topping – chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. If using ramekins or individual serving dishes, divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese among four oven-safe dishes. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each dish.
3. If using one large dish, combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta cheese in the center. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and veggies.
4. In a small bowl, mix the dried oregano, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this spice blend over the feta and veggies.
5. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or put the baking dish directly in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. Remove the dishes from the oven and stir everything together so the feta mixes in with the veggies. Add the spinach and stir it in until combined.
7. Make a well in the middle of each ramekin or create four wells if using one large dish. Crack an egg into each well.
8. Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
9. Top with optional chopped fresh herbs or sliced chives.
10. Serve with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.
