Ingredients
200g feta cheese block
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic and shallots until softened.
3. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to blister and release their juices.
4. Stir in oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Simmer briefly.
5. Nestle feta chunks into the tomato base and let simmer for 2 more minutes.
6. Create small wells and crack eggs into them.
7. Bake in oven for 8–10 minutes until whites are set and yolks are slightly runny.
8. Remove from oven, rest 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
9. Serve hot with bread or couscous.
Notes
Use a ceramic or enameled baking dish to prevent overcooking and get even heat.
Always use block feta in brine for the best melting texture and tang.
Let the dish rest after baking—carryover heat will finish cooking the eggs perfectly.
