Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups spinach
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasoning:
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (basil or parsley)
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 375°F, ensuring the rack sits in the middle position for even heating.
- Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large oven-safe skillet, warming it over medium heat until it shimmers slightly.
- Drop 2 minced garlic cloves into the hot oil, stirring for exactly 60 seconds to release their aromatic essence without burning.
- Tumble 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and 2 cups fresh spinach into the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until spinach collapses and releases its moisture.
- Scatter 200g crumbled feta cheese across the vegetable landscape, creating small pockets and valleys in the mixture.
- Gently nestle 4 large eggs into the feta-vegetable terrain, positioning them carefully to ensure even cooking.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus a pinch of salt and pepper over the eggs for balanced seasoning.
- Slide the skillet into the preheated 375°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for egg whites to set while keeping yolks deliciously runny.
- Extract the skillet from the oven and shower with chopped fresh basil or parsley for a burst of herbal brightness.
- Serve immediately alongside crusty bread, allowing your guests to dive into this Mediterranean treasure.
Notes
- Select a heavy, oven-safe skillet to help distribute heat evenly and prevent sticking during baking.
- Ensure your tomatoes are ripe and fresh for the best burst of flavor in the finished dish.
- Use high-quality feta cheese with good moisture content for creamy texture and rich Mediterranean taste.
- Keep an eye on the eggs during baking to catch the perfect moment when whites are set but yolks remain beautifully runny.
