Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 oz feta cheese (Block feta works best so it melts into a golden pool.) Use high-quality block feta for the best melting results.
  • 4 large eggs (Use eggs at refrigerator temperature for more consistent setting.)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (Halve for quicker blistering.)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (Helps the feta melt and the tomatoes blister.)
  • 2 cloves garlic (Minced.)
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (Adjust to taste for heat.)
  • 0.25 tsp salt (To taste.)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper (To taste.)
  • 1 piece fresh basil or parsley (Chopped for garnish.)
  • 1 piece crusty bread (For serving.) Perfect for dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a baking dish, place the block of feta in the center. Surround it with halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and tomatoes. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the feta is soft and golden, and the tomatoes are blistering.
  2. Remove from the oven and gently crack the eggs on top of the baked feta and tomatoes.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  4. Once done, garnish with chopped basil or parsley.

Notes

Serve your Baked Feta Eggs warm, right out of the oven. It pairs perfectly with crusty bread for dipping into the gooey feta and runny egg yolks. A light salad on the side can also complement this dish beautifully. If you have leftovers, let the dish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.
