Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 block Feta Cheese (about 200g)
- 8 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Oil (spray recommended for greasing)
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Blend
Instructions
- Get Ready to Cook: Gather all your ingredients and kitchen tools. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Feta Base: Place the feta block in the center of the greased baking dish. Drizzle a little oil over the cheese to help it melt evenly in the oven.
- Add the Eggs and Season: Carefully crack the eggs around the feta block, making sure to keep the yolks intact. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning blend evenly over the eggs and cheese for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Put the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and the feta has softened and turned slightly golden on top.
- Mix and Serve: Remove from the oven and use a fork to gently combine the eggs and melted feta into a creamy dip. Serve warm immediately and enjoy this rich and flavorful dish.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Italian seasoning can be substituted with dried oregano, basil, or a herb mix of your choice.
- Do not overbake to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
- Serve with crusty bread or raw vegetable sticks for dipping.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
