# Ingredient List:

→ Dairy

01 - 5.3 oz block feta cheese

→ Vegetables

02 - 7 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
03 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
04 - 1 clove garlic, minced
05 - 1 oz baby spinach

11 - 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped
12 - Crusty bread, to serve (optional)

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Place the feta block in the center of a medium ovenproof dish.
03 - Surround the feta with halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with dried oregano, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Bake for 15 minutes until tomatoes soften and feta becomes creamy.
05 - Remove dish from oven, add baby spinach around the feta, and gently fold into the hot vegetable mixture to wilt.
06 - Create four wells in the vegetables and carefully crack one egg into each.
07 - Return dish to oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks remain runny.
08 - Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately, optionally with crusty bread.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The feta melts into a creamy, salty base that makes runny yolks taste like pure luxury without any fuss.
  • It looks restaurant-worthy but honestly comes together faster than you'd expect, perfect for weekend guests or solo indulgence.
  • Those burst cherry tomatoes create this sweet, jammy sauce that feels unexpected but absolutely right.
02 -
  • The eggs will keep cooking from residual heat even after you pull the dish from the oven, so don't wait for the yolks to look perfectly runny inside—they'll firm up slightly as you eat.
  • Use an ovenproof dish that you don't mind bringing straight to the table, because plating this into individual servings feels like a betrayal of everything it is.
03 -
  • Toast a slice of crusty bread in the oven alongside the final bake so it soaks up every last drop of feta and tomato when you're eating.
  • Make this for two people and eat it straight from the same dish at a small table—it tastes better when you're sharing a plate and a moment.
