Ingredients
  

  • 200 g (7 oz) block feta cheese
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the feta block in the center of a baking dish.
  • Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the feta and drizzle everything with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the garlic, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper over the dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the feta becomes creamy.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and stir in the fresh spinach until it begins to wilt.
  • Create four small wells in the mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well.
  • Return the dish to the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set while the yolks remain slightly runny (or longer for firmer yolks).
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately with toasted bread or warm pita.

Notes

  • Use a block of feta instead of crumbled feta for the creamiest texture.
  • Fresh cherry tomatoes provide the best sweetness.
  • Add spinach after the initial bake to preserve its color and texture.
  • Keep an eye on the eggs to achieve your preferred yolk consistency.
  • High-quality extra virgin olive oil enhances the overall flavor.
  • Fresh herbs make the finished dish even more vibrant.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet or ceramic baking dish.
