How do you bake eggs with feta?

I bake the feta and tomatoes first so they soften and release their flavor, then I gently crack the eggs on top and finish baking until the whites are set but the yolks stay golden and soft.

Can you bake feta in the oven?

Yes, and that’s the beauty of this recipe. Baking feta turns it creamy on the inside with slightly crisp edges, making it the perfect base for the eggs and tomatoes.

Does feta cheese melt when baked?

Not in the same way mozzarella or cheddar does. Instead, feta softens into a spreadable, creamy texture that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables and eggs.

Do egg and feta go together?

Absolutely. The richness of the eggs balances the salty tang of the feta, and together they create a dish that feels both comforting and flavorful.

Instructions

Prepare the Base: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the block of feta in the center of a small baking dish. Surround it with halved cherry tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, salt, and pepper.

Bake the Feta: Bake for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the feta starts to brown around the edges.

Add the Eggs: Remove the dish from the oven. Gently crack eggs on top of the feta and tomatoes. Return to oven and bake for 7–10 minutes, until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.

Optional Spinach: Add fresh spinach in the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor and nutrition.

Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and red pepper flakes. Serve hot with toasted bread or pita for dipping.
