Ingredients
Produce
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 2 cups Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- ½ small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Dried thyme
Refrigerated
- 4 large Eggs
Baking & Spices
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Oils & Vinegars
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
Dairy
- 8 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
Optional Toppings
- Chopped fresh basil or fresh chives
Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Roast the Vegetables
- Roast the vegetable mixture in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
3. Add Spinach and Feta
- Remove the skillet from the oven and gently stir in the baby spinach until it wilts slightly.
- Scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetable mixture.
4. Add the Eggs
- Using a spoon, make four small wells in the vegetable mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
- Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the eggs and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
5. Bake the Eggs
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. (Adjust the cooking time to your preferred egg doneness.)
6. Garnish and Serve
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil or chives if desired. Serve directly from the skillet with crusty bread, pita, or a side salad.
