Scale
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups tomatoes (halved or quartered)
- 1 red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 8 oz feta cheese
- 4 tbsp olive oil (I like California Olive Ranch)
- 1.25 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.75 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and seasoning: In a baking dish, combine the tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to ensure that all the vegetables are coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Add the feta and spinach: Nestle the block of feta cheese in the center of the vegetables and scatter the spinach around it. Sprinkle the lemon zest over everything.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the feta is soft and slightly golden.
- Add the eggs: Carefully crack the eggs over the baked vegetable and feta mixture, spacing them evenly. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and scatter fresh basil over the top. Serve warm right from the dish.
Notes
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to ensure even cooking.
- You can adjust the baking time depending on how runny or firm you prefer your eggs.
- Using fresh herbs like basil elevates the dish’s flavor.
