Ingredients

  • Grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper (or yellow/orange bell pepper), chopped
  • 1 small red onion (or green onion/shallot), chopped
  • 4 oz feta cheese (block or crumbled)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 4 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp per ramekin)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp sea salt or kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh parsley
  • Sliced green onions
  • Diced chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Divide tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and feta cheese among 4 ramekins or place in a single baking dish.
  3. Drizzle each ramekin with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  4. In a small bowl, mix oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over the ramekins.
  5. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until vegetables are soft and fragrant.
  6. Remove from oven, stir in chopped spinach, and gently mix.
  7. Make a well in the center of each ramekin and crack in an egg.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain soft.
  9. Top with fresh herbs such as parsley, green onions, or chives. Serve warm with toast, pita, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Substitute feta with goat cheese or Boursin for a creamy variation.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Both block and crumbled feta work well in this recipe.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
  • Try shallots or leeks for an alternative onion flavor.
