Main Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese For that creamy, tangy flavor.

- 150 grams Fresh spinach Adds a pop of color and nutrients.

- 2 cloves Garlic (minced) For aromatic punch.
- to taste Salt and pepper Essential seasoning.
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) For a little kick.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare your veggies: In a large oven-safe skillet, add the cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix gently.
- Add the feta: Place the feta cheese in the center of the skillet, surrounded by the veggies. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Cooking
- Bake: Put your skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is golden and soft.
- Add the eggs: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Using a spoon, make small wells in the mixture and crack the eggs into each well. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish with freshly ground black pepper, and dig in!
Notes
Can substitute feta with goat cheese or use kale/swiss chard instead of spinach. For a lighter version, reduce the feta or use spray oil.
