Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grab a 9×13-inch baking dish for your delicious creation.

- Add 1 cup of chopped baby spinach and mix all ingredients until they’re evenly combined.
- Spread the vegetable and cheese mixture across your prepared baking dish, creating smooth surfaces.
- Gently create 4 small wells in the mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Crack 1 large egg into each well, keeping the yolks intact.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 375°F oven and bake for exactly 15-20 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.

Notes
- Fresh tomatoes work best for a bright, juicy flavor that complements the rich feta and eggs.
- Use a shallow baking dish to ensure even cooking and crispy edges on the vegetables.
- Experiment with different herbs like dill or za’atar to customize the Mediterranean-style dish to your taste preferences.
- For a lower-carb version, skip the bread and serve directly from the baking dish with a side of mixed greens.
