Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to make this delicious baked feta egg dish:

  • 1 block feta cheese (8 oz)
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: spinach, cherry tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes

Pro Tip: For best results, use a solid feta block instead of crumbled cheese — it melts creamier.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Dish

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.

2. Assemble

Place the feta in the center, crack the eggs around it, drizzle with olive oil, and season.

3. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the whites are set and feta begins to soften.

4. Mix and Serve

Use a fork to gently mix the eggs and feta for a creamy texture.

This method is similar to other effortless dishes on Gremdo, like the Creamy Crock Pot Ranch Chicken, which also focuses on minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Flavor Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add chili flakes or harissa paste.
  • Greek-Inspired: Toss in olives and oregano.
  • Veggie Lover’s Version: Add sautéed spinach or cherry tomatoes.
  • Brunch Upgrade: Pair with Decadent Crème Brûlée French Toast Casserole for a complete spread.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your baked feta eggs with:

  • Sourdough toast or pita
  • Avocado slices
  • Tomato-cucumber salad
  • Roasted sweet potatoes

Or, for a creative twist, serve it alongside the Mexican Street Corn Soup — the creamy textures pair wonderfully.
