Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 200g (7 oz) feta cheese, cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh herbs (optional)
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish
- Crusty bread or toast, for serving
Preparation Steps
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the feta and vegetables bake evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish
Drizzle olive oil over a small baking dish. Add the cubed feta, chopped tomato, and bell peppers if using. Sprinkle with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Bake the Feta and Vegetables
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the feta is slightly golden and soft.
4. Add the Eggs
Remove the dish from the oven and carefully crack the eggs over the baked feta and vegetables. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
5. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or basil on top. Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast to scoop up the creamy feta and eggs.
