Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (block or crumbles)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, or dill)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 23 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes or chili flakes (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or ovenproof skillet.
  2. In a bowl, blend feta, cream cheese (or yogurt), olive oil, garlic, herbs, and pepper until smooth and spreadable.
  3. Spread the whipped feta mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. If using, scatter cherry tomatoes over the feta layer.
  5. Create small wells in the mixture and crack eggs into each well.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until whites are set and yolks are still soft (or longer for firmer yolks).
  7. Remove from oven and top with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. Serve warm with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Stir in shredded mozzarella or Parmesan for extra cheesiness.
  • Layer roasted veggies like spinach or peppers under the feta.
  • Add heat with harissa or chopped jalapeños.
  • Experiment with herbs like chives or rosemary for flavor variations.
  • Double the recipe in a larger dish to serve more people.
