Baked Feta Eggs with Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic

This dish involves baking feta cheese with eggs, tomatoes, and garlic until the cheese melts into the yolks, creating a creamy, custard-like texture with vibrant flavors. The baked mixture results in bubbling, slightly browned edges with a soft, creamy interior, combining savory, tangy, and sweet elements in a single pan.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g feta cheese preferably block for baking
  • 4 large eggs fresh and room temperature
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling and roasting
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • fresh basil chopped optional garnish

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish or skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the feta cheese in the center of an oven-safe baking dish or skillet.
  3. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the feta, then sprinkle the minced garlic over everything.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and feta, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bake the feta, tomatoes, and garlic in the oven until the tomatoes start bursting and the feta is slightly golden, about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and gently crack the eggs directly over the mixture, spacing them evenly.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft, about 8–10 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven; the eggs should appear slightly puffed and the feta and tomatoes bubbling with browned edges.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped basil for a burst of freshness and flavor.
  10. Serve warm directly from the dish with crusty bread or toast for dipping and scooping.
