Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs are a bright, savory, and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. Creamy baked feta blends with ripe tomatoes, olives, and fresh herbs, creating a rich sauce in which eggs are gently baked to perfection. It’s gluten-free, high-protein, and full of Mediterranean flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 6 oz (170 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved (optional)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish: parsley, basil, or dill
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
2. Prepare Tomato-Feta Base:
In the baking dish, combine halved tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, olives (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to coat.
3. Add Feta:
Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the tomato mixture.
4. Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until tomatoes are softened and feta is slightly golden.
5. Add Eggs:
Make small wells in the tomato-feta mixture and crack an egg into each well. Return to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, depending on desired yolk doneness.
6. Garnish & Serve:
Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm with gluten-free bread, pita, or fresh greens.
Tips for Perfect Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs
- Egg doneness: Keep an eye on the eggs; 8 minutes gives runny yolks, 12 minutes gives firmer yolks.
- Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes roast best, but diced fresh tomatoes work too.
- Feta flavor: Use good-quality feta for a creamier, tangier base.
- Make-ahead: Prepare tomato-feta base in advance; bake eggs just before serving.
Variations
- Veggie Boost: Add spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers to the tomato base.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
- Cheesy Upgrade: Mix feta with goat cheese or cream cheese for extra creaminess.
- Mediterranean Twist: Add artichoke hearts or sun-dried tomatoes for more flavor depth.
Serving Ideas
