Instructions
Making Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs is straightforward, and following these steps will ensure success:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: In a medium-sized baking dish, drizzle olive oil at the bottom.
3. Add Feta: Place the feta cheese in the center of the dish.
4. Add Tomatoes: Surround the feta with the halved cherry tomatoes.
5. Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper over the tomatoes and feta.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and the feta is golden.
7. Add Eggs: Remove the dish from the oven and carefully crack the eggs over the baked feta and tomatoes.
8. Return to Oven: Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
9. Garnish: Once ready, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
10. Serve Warm: Serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread to scoop up the creamy feta and runny yolks.
Following these steps allows you to create a dish that is both stunning in appearance and rich in flavor.
