Ingredients
-
4 large eggs
-
1 block (200g) feta cheese, crumbled
-
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
-
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
-
Arrange the crumbled feta cheese and cherry tomatoes in the baking dish. Scatter the chopped Kalamata olives around the feta.
-
Drizzle the olive oil over the feta, tomatoes, and olives. Sprinkle with dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Make 4 small wells in the mixture for the eggs. Crack an egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolks.
-
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or bake longer for firmer yolks).
-
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired, and serve with crusty bread for dipping.
Notes
-
You can adjust the number of eggs depending on the size of your baking dish and how many servings you need.
-
Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients like roasted red peppers, artichokes, or spinach for extra flavor and texture.
-
If you prefer scrambled eggs, you can whisk the eggs before adding them to the baking dish.
-
This dish can also be enjoyed for lunch or dinner!
