Ingredient Breakdown: What You’ll Need for Mediterranean Baked Feta Eggs
- Feta Cheese
- Eggs
- Tomatoes
- Bell Peppers
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Fresh Herbs (Basil or Parsley)
Let’s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Step 1: Start by preheating that oven of yours to 400°F (200°C). You’re going to want it all nice and hot and ready for action!
Prepare the Baking Dish
Step 2: Next, grab a baking dish (an 8×8 is just perfect!) and place a block of feta cheese in the center. Now, surround it with chopped tomatoes and bell peppers, it’ll look oh-so-colorful!
Add Olive Oil and Seasoning
Step 3: Drizzle everything with a generous splash of olive oil, and don’t forget your couple of pinches of salt and pepper. You want it all to be nicely seasoned!
Crack the Eggs
Step 4: Here comes the fun part! Crack the eggs delicately right over the feta and veggies. Aim for a sunny-side-up look, if you can. I mean, how gorgeous does that look already?!
Bake to Perfection
Step 5: Pop that baking dish into the oven and let it bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the feta becomes just golden around the edges, all creamy and dreamy, if you ask me!
Garnish and Serve
Step 6: Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle on those fresh herbs, have a whiff, and get ready to serve it warm. You can enjoy it straight from the pan, or dish it up for a more formal table setting, your call!

How to Serve This

Storage
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions
When you reheat, just pop it in the microwave until warm (maybe 1-2 minutes) or back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Just make sure not to let those eggs cook too long!
Freezer Friendly?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can make it ahead and freeze it! Just let it cool completely before transferring it into a freezer-safe container. It will keep frozen for about 1-2 months. Just remember, you’ll want to thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
