3 cloves garlic, minced
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: chopped fresh basil or fresh chives for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- For individual servings: Divide tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta cheese into 4 oven-safe ramekins. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil over each.
For one large dish: Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the dish. Place feta in the center and drizzle olive oil over the veggies and feta. - Mix oregano, salt, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the feta and veggies.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then stir to combine the feta with the veggies.
- Add spinach and stir to mix evenly.
- Create wells in the center of each ramekin (or large dish) and crack an egg into each well.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until eggs reach desired doneness.
- Optional: Top with fresh basil or chives before serving.
- Serve with crusty bread, pita, or toast for dipping.
Notes
- For a different flavor, swap spinach with kale or arugula.
- Goat cheese can be substituted for feta for a creamier texture.
- Add olives, capers, or more veggies like zucchini for a Mediterranean twist.
- To make the eggs runnier, reduce the baking time after adding eggs
