Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish that will comfortably hold your ingredients.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté until aromatic, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until completely wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the sautéed spinach evenly across the bottom of your baking dish.
- Distribute ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes across the spinach layer.
- Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
- Carefully crack 4 large eggs onto the mixture, spacing them evenly and keeping yolks intact.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated 375°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
- For firmer yolks, continue baking an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving directly from the baking dish.
Notes
- Choose a shallow, oven-safe ceramic dish that allows eggs to spread evenly for the best cooking results.
- Fresh ingredients make a huge difference, so select ripe cherry tomatoes and crisp spinach for maximum flavor.
- Adjust baking time carefully to get perfectly runny yolks – watching the eggs closely in the final minutes prevents overcooking.
- For a lower-carb version, skip the tomatoes and replace with roasted red peppers or substitute spinach with kale for extra nutrients.
