Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2–3 servings 1x

Description

Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs is a vibrant one-pan dish combining tangy feta cheese, juicy tomatoes, and warm Mediterranean spices with baked eggs. Perfect for brunch or a quick dinner, this nutrient-packed recipe pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Crusty bread or pita (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Base
    Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables and Seasonings
    Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add cherry tomatoes, oregano, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the tomatoes release their juices and form a sauce.
  4. Incorporate Feta
    Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetable mixture evenly.
  5. Add Eggs
    Create four wells in the sauce using a spoon. Crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
  6. Bake
    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are runny. Bake longer for firmer yolks.
  7. Garnish and Serve
    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the vegetable-feta base in advance and bake with eggs when ready to serve.
  • Reheating: Warm leftovers in a skillet over low heat or microwave for 1–2 minutes, avoiding overcooking the eggs.
  • Pairing: Serve with a cucumber salad, roasted potatoes, or a light Sauvignon Blanc for a complete Mediterranean meal.
