Easy Baked Feta Eggs
These baked feta eggs are an easy, healthy Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring velvety feta, jammy eggs, and fresh herbs. Perfect for breakfast or a protein-packed start to your day!
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
- 12 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the baking dish
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pita pockets for serving
- Fresh basil and/or mint for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease an 8×11 baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the block of feta cheese at the center of the baking dish. Crack the eggs around the feta, spacing them evenly.
- Drizzle the olive oil over both the feta and the eggs. Sprinkle the eggs with salt, and season everything with black pepper for an added kick.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes. Keep an eye on the eggs—the whites should be just set while the yolks stay jammy and soft.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Using a fork, gently scramble the eggs and feta together until creamy and fully combined.
- If the egg whites appear slightly wet at first, don't worry—they’ll continue to set from the residual heat.
- Scoop the mixture into pita pockets or enjoy it as is, garnished with fresh basil or mint leaves for a refreshing finish.
Notes
Always grease your baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
