🍳 Baked Feta Eggs
These Baked Feta Eggs are the perfect combination of creamy, salty feta, jammy yolks, and rich olive oil, all baked into a one-dish wonder. Quick, simple, and packed with protein – breakfast has never been this elegant!
Equipment
- Oven-safe baking dish or small skillet
- Fork or spatula
- spoon
- Knife & cutting board
- Oven
Ingredients
- ½ cup block feta cheese crumbled or in chunks
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano or za’atar optional
- Fresh herbs parsley, basil, dill – for garnish
- Toasted sourdough pita, or flatbread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place your oven-safe dish or mini skillet inside to preheat (optional, for extra sizzle).
Add Feta to the Dish:
- Crumble or cube the feta and place it in the center of your baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano/za’atar, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Crack in the Eggs:
- Gently crack 2 eggs over the feta. Try not to break the yolks. Let the whites spread slightly but keep the yolks centered.
Bake the Eggs:
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the whites are just set but yolks are still slightly runny (or longer for firmer yolks).
Garnish & Serve:
- Top with chopped herbs. Serve immediately with warm toast, pita, or even over rice or quinoa.
Notes
For added flavor, roast some cherry tomatoes or bell peppers alongside the feta.
Add a clove of minced garlic or a sprinkle of paprika for extra depth.
Serve with avocado slices or a spoonful of hummus for a fuller meal.
Make it spicy with harissa or chili crisp.
