Creating Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs is an easy process with clear steps. Here’s how to make this irresistible dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: In an oven-safe baking dish, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives.
3. Add Feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the tomatoes and olives evenly.
4. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients and sprinkle dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the feta is softened and the tomatoes are blistered.
6. Add Eggs: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Create wells in the feta and tomato mixture, then crack an egg into each well.
7. Return to Oven: Put the dish back in the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
