Healthy, flavorful breakfast or brunch made simple

Baked Feta Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes is a healthy, savory, and visually appealing breakfast that combines creamy feta, fresh spinach, roasted cherry tomatoes, and perfectly baked eggs. This dish is ideal for busy mornings, weekend brunches, or a nutrient-packed breakfast that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Unlike traditional scrambled eggs or omelets, baking the eggs ensures even cooking and allows the flavors of feta, spinach, and tomatoes to meld beautifully. The feta becomes slightly golden, tomatoes soften and caramelize, and the eggs stay tender with slightly runny yolks.

Why Baked Feta Eggs Work

Baking eggs with vegetables and cheese is a hands-off method that maximizes flavor. Spinach adds nutrients and a mild earthiness, tomatoes bring natural sweetness and acidity, and feta contributes creaminess and saltiness. This method also allows for individual portions, making it perfect for serving multiple guests or meal prepping.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, parsley or basil)

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four small ramekins with olive oil.

Tips for Perfect Baked Eggs

Check oven timing: Egg yolks can be runny or fully set depending on your preference.
Use fresh vegetables: Fresh spinach and ripe cherry tomatoes provide better flavor and texture.
Room temperature eggs: Helps eggs bake evenly.
Add protein: Optional cooked bacon or sausage can be layered underneath the vegetables.

Variations and Flavor Boosts

Mediterranean Twist: Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and oregano.
Cheese Swap: Use goat cheese or shredded mozzarella instead of feta.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
Meal Prep: Bake in muffin tins for grab-and-go portions.

Storage and Make-Ahead

Store baked eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave. For meal prep, prepare vegetables and feta ahead of time, add eggs when ready to bake.
