Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish or skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon for mixing and serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block feta cheese about 7 to 8 ounces
  • 1 & 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to an oven-safe baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes if using, and black pepper. Toss everything gently to coat.
  • Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the dish, nestling it into the tomatoes.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the feta softens.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the tomatoes and feta together to create a creamy base.

  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Tips for Making the Best Baked Feta Eggs

Use high-quality feta made from sheep’s milk for the creamiest texture. Keep an eye on the eggs during the final bake to avoid overcooking. If you prefer softer eggs, pull the dish out when the whites are just set. Serve with warm bread to soak up every bit of the sauce.

Variations and Substitutions

Add spinach or kale during the last few minutes of baking for extra greens. Swap cherry tomatoes for canned crushed tomatoes if fresh ones are not available. For extra protein, add cooked chickpeas or white beans. If you are not a fan of feta, creamy goat cheese works well as a substitute. You can also add olives or roasted red peppers for even more Mediterranean flair.
