Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Block Feta Cheese (about 200g)
- 8 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Baked Feta Eggs Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients and tools so everything is ready and within reach before starting the cooking process.
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray your baking pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place Feta in the Pan and Oil: Put the block of feta cheese in the center of the prepared baking pan. Drizzle or spray an additional amount of olive oil over the top of the feta to add creaminess during baking.
- Add Eggs and Season: Crack the eggs gently around the block of feta in the pan. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the eggs and feta. Add salt and pepper sparingly, keeping in mind the feta’s saltiness.
- Bake Feta and Eggs: Place the pan into the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Check to ensure the egg whites are fully set while yolks remain slightly runny, adjusting baking time to your preference.
- Mix Everything: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a fork to scramble the baked eggs and feta together until creamy and well combined. Serve immediately and enjoy the dish warm.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning carefully since feta is naturally salty.
- For firmer yolks, bake closer to 20 minutes; for runnier yolks, bake around 15 minutes.
- You can add fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor if desired.
- This recipe serves 6, perfect for a family breakfast or brunch gathering.
