Baked Feta Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes is a simple yet deeply flavorful dish inspired by Mediterranean cooking. Combining creamy feta cheese, sweet roasted tomatoes, tender spinach, and gently baked eggs, this recipe delivers richness without heaviness and comfort without excess.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even light dinners, this baked egg dish requires minimal preparation and delivers maximum flavor. Everything comes together in a single baking dish, making cleanup effortless and the process stress-free.

The magic of this recipe lies in contrast. Salty feta melts into the tomatoes, creating a savory sauce that perfectly complements the soft egg whites and golden yolks. Spinach adds freshness and balance, turning this into a complete and nourishing meal.

Why Baked Eggs Are So Popular

Baked eggs are beloved because they’re:

Easy to prepare
Customizable with vegetables and cheese
Perfect for sharing
Naturally gluten-free

Unlike stovetop eggs, baking allows flavors to meld slowly while keeping the eggs tender and evenly cooked.

Ingredients

1 block (7–8 oz) feta cheese
1½ cups cherry tomatoes
2 cups fresh spinach
4 large eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Black pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place feta cheese in the center of a small baking dish.
Scatter cherry tomatoes around the feta.
Drizzle olive oil over everything and sprinkle garlic and chili flakes.
Bake for 20 minutes until tomatoes burst and feta softens.
Remove dish from oven and stir gently to combine.
Add spinach and fold into the warm mixture until wilted.
Create four small wells and crack one egg into each.
Return to oven and bake 8–10 minutes until whites are set.
Season with black pepper and garnish before serving.
