Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz Feta Cheese (1 block)
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes, oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Oregano, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Place Feta Cheese: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the prepared skillet or baking dish. This will serve as the creamy base for the dish.
  3. Arrange Vegetables: Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, pitted and halved Kalamata olives, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly around the feta cheese, distributing the flavors beautifully.
  4. Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with minced garlic, olive oil, chopped fresh oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the feta cheese and surrounding vegetables, ensuring the eggs fill the spaces around the cheese without overflowing.
  6. Bake: Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the feta cheese has softened and turned slightly golden brown on top.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and if desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately with crusty bread to scoop up the creamy baked feta and eggs.
