A vibrant, one-pan brunch where a block of feta and fresh vegetables bake into a savory sauce, creating luxurious wells for eggs. It is a high-protein, minimal-effort meal that brings Mediterranean sunshine to your table in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 medium bell pepper, any color, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 block (7-8 oz) feta cheese
  • 4-6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, dill, or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, combine tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion. Toss with olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Clear a space in the center and place the whole block of feta cheese in the middle. Drizzle with a bit more oil if desired.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, until tomatoes begin to burst and feta softens.
  5. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Use a spoon to create 4-6 wells in the hot vegetable mixture around the feta.
  6. Crack an egg into each well. For best results, crack each egg into a small bowl first, then slide it in.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 8-12 minutes, until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish generously with fresh herbs and more black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use seasoned firm tofu instead of feta. Add chickpeas or spinach for extra protein and greens. Ensure your skillet handle is oven-safe. The eggs will continue to cook slightly after removal, so pull them out when the yolks still jiggle. Leftover veggie and feta base (without eggs) can be stored for 2 days and reheated.
