Ingredients
  

For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Tomatoes Essential for moisture and flavor; use ripe, juicy tomatoes halved or quartered.
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and crunch; finely diced for even cooking.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Provides a mild sweetness when cooked; thinly sliced for uniformity.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor with aromatic depth; minced for quick release of flavor.
For the Cheesy Base
  • 8 ounces Feta Cheese The star ingredient, lending creaminess and tang; use block feta for best texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Prevents sticking and promotes even cooking; recommended to use high-quality oil.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano A fragrant herb that brings Mediterranean flair; feel free to use fresh or dried.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Earthy and slightly minty; it complements the dish beautifully.

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors; season to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground for the best flavor; adjust to your liking.
For Assembly
  • 3 cups Spinach Adds color and nutrients; wilt slightly for volume without losing texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare your vegetables by finely dicing the red bell pepper, thinly slicing the red onion, and mincing the garlic. Halve or quarter the tomatoes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, mixing thoroughly.
  4. In your baking dishes, layer the diced bell pepper, sliced onion, minced garlic, and halved tomatoes. Crumble the block of feta over the top.
  5. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the layered vegetables and feta, ensuring everything is well-coated for optimal flavor and cooking. Sprinkle your spice blend evenly across the top.
  6. Place the baking dishes in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Carefully stir the vegetable and feta mixture, then add the spinach and create small wells for the eggs.
  8. Crack the eggs into the wells, taking care not to break the yolks, and sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the top.
  9. Return the baking dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  10. Once done, allow the Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs to rest for 2 minutes and garnish with fresh basil.
  11. Serve your Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs immediately, ideally alongside crusty bread.
