Baked Feta Eggs
Delicious Baked Feta Eggs featuring eggs and feta cheese baked together, perfect for breakfast.
Equipment
- Ceramic Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1 block feta cheese 8-ounce block
- 12 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the baking dish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pita pocket for serving
- fresh basil and/or mint for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8×11 baking dish with olive oil.
- Place the feta block in the middle of the prepared baking dish. Crack 12 eggs around it, then drizzle olive oil over the feta and eggs. Season the eggs with salt and season both the eggs and feta with black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until the feta cheese melts and the egg whites around the edges cook.
- Use a fork to scramble the eggs and feta together. Don’t worry if some of the whites still look wet as they will continue cooking from the heat of the baking dish and surrounding eggs.
- Enjoy the eggs alone or scoop into pita pockets and garnish with mint or basil leaves.
