Ingredients
  

For the Veggies
  • 2 cups Cherry or Grape Tomatoes Provides sweetness and moisture; use any small, ripe tomatoes for best results.
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Adds crunch and sweetness; substitute with yellow or orange bell pepper for different flavor profiles.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Contributes a mild onion flavor; can be replaced with shallots for a sweeter taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances the overall depth of flavor; fresh garlic is preferred over jarred.
  • 2 cups Chopped Baby Spinach Introduces nutrients and color; Swiss chard is a great substitute.
For the Feta Base
  • 200 grams Feta Cheese Offers creaminess and tang; substitute with goat cheese for a different flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps in roasting the vegetables; can use avocado oil as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Infuses Mediterranean flavor; fresh oregano may also be used, increasing quantity for more vibrancy.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Complements the dish’s herb profile; fresh thyme can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Basic seasonings to enhance flavors; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Basic seasonings to enhance flavors; adjust to taste.
For the Spicy Kick
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adds a spicy kick; omit or reduce for milder taste.
For the Eggs

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your baking dish or ramekins.
  2. Arrange the cherry or grape tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, minced garlic, and crumbled feta cheese in individual ramekins or in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the dried oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this over the feta and vegetables.
  4. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until vegetables soften and feta is creamy and golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, stir gently, and fold in the chopped baby spinach.
  6. Create small wells in the vegetable mixture and crack each large egg into these wells.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until whites are set and yolks slightly runny.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil or chives and serve warm with crusty bread or pita.
