Feta cheese is a crumbly, brined cheese with a flavor profile that ranges from tangy and salty to creamy and rich. Its distinct taste is what elevates baked feta eggs from a simple egg dish to a gourmet experience. When baked, feta cheese softens and becomes spreadable, creating a luxurious texture that melds beautifully with the eggs and vegetables.

Ingredients
  

200g feta cheese, crumbled

4 large eggs

200g fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Baking Dish: In a medium-sized baking dish, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat the bottom.

      Sauté Spinach and Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Add Cherry Tomatoes: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the halved cherry tomatoes. Combine well with the spinach mixture.

          Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread the spinach and tomato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Crumble the feta cheese on top.

            Add Eggs: Create four small wells in the feta and vegetable mixture and crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks).

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread for dipping.
