Ingredients
-
1 block (8 oz) feta cheese
-
8 large eggs
-
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
¼ tsp sea salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a medium baking dish with olive oil. -
Add the Feta
Place the feta block in the center of the dish. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil. -
Crack the Eggs
Crack the eggs around the feta block, spacing them evenly. -
Season
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add tomatoes or spinach if using. -
Bake
Bake uncovered for 18–22 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny. -
Mix and Serve
Remove from the oven and gently stir to combine the melted feta and eggs.
Top with fresh basil or oregano and an extra drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Notes
-
Use block feta, not crumbled — it melts creamier.
-
For a spicy twist, add chili flakes or a drizzle of harissa before baking.
-
Add veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or kale for extra nutrition.
-
Great for low-carb, keto, and gluten-free diets.
