Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 200g block of fresh feta cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheating is your first step to breakfast magic! Crank that oven to 400°F (200°C) and grab a beautiful ceramic baking dish. Start by drizzling olive oil across the bottom, creating a golden base of flavor.
- Scatter those thinly sliced onions and minced garlic – they’re going to be the flavor foundation of this dish. Crumble the feta cheese generously across the dish, creating a landscape of cheesy peaks and valleys. Nestle the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped olives around the cheese, creating a colorful Mediterranean mosaic.
- Now for the star of the show – the eggs! Carefully crack each egg directly onto the feta. Pro chef tip: try to keep those yolks intact for that perfect Instagram-worthy moment. Sprinkle fresh oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and season with sea salt and black pepper. A final drizzle of olive oil seals the deal.
- Pop the dish into the oven for 12-15 minutes. You’re looking for set whites and gloriously runny yolks – the hallmark of a perfect baked egg dish.
