Ingredients

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ small red onion, diced

3 cloves minced garlic

8 ounces feta cheese

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 cup chopped baby spinach

4 large eggs

Optional for topping: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. For individual ramekins: Divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese between 4 oven-safe ramekins. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each dish.
  3. For one large dish: Combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish and place the feta in the center. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and veggies.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the feta and veggies. If using ramekins, divide the spice mixture equally among them.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and stir the mixture to combine. Add the chopped spinach and stir until evenly combined.
  7. Create a well in the center of each ramekin or four wells if using a large baking dish. Crack one egg into each well.
  8. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  9. Top with optional chopped fresh basil or sliced chives, and serve with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.

Notes

  • Feel free to add extra veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or olives for more flavor.
  • If you don’t like thyme or oregano, try fresh basil, rosemary, or dill.
  • Goat cheese or ricotta can be used in place of feta for a different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer more heat, add sliced jalapeños or extra chili flakes.
