Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 block of feta cheese (about 200g)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced

Protein

  • 4 large eggs

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • Fresh basil, oregano, or thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Roast the tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Spread them evenly on a baking dish and roast for about 15 minutes until soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
  2. Sauté the spinach: While the tomatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and minced garlic, sautéing gently until just wilted and vibrant green. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble in a baking dish: In a small ovenproof dish or skillet, create a bed with the roasted tomatoes and sautéed spinach. Crumble the block of feta evenly over the vegetables. Carefully crack the eggs on top, spacing them evenly. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake until eggs are set: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your preferred egg doneness. The whites should be fully set and opaque while the yolks remain soft or firmer to your liking.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh herbs if using, and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Serve warm, scooping up the creamy feta, silky eggs, and juicy tomatoes together for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality feta cheese for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Choose ripe cherry tomatoes to maximize natural sweetness when roasting.
  • Keep a close watch on baking times for eggs to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and avoid steaming the vegetables.
  • Let the dish rest 2-3 minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld perfectly.
