What type of feta cheese should I use?

I recommend using a block of feta cheese for the best creamy texture and flavor. Crumbled feta also works well, but the texture may be slightly different. Look for high-quality feta for the best results!

How long can I store leftovers in the fridge?

You can store any leftover Baked Feta Eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure it has completely cooled before sealing to retain moisture.

Can I freeze Baked Feta Eggs?

Absolutely! To freeze, portion the Baked Feta Eggs into freezer-safe containers. They can be stored for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.

How do I reheat Baked Feta Eggs?

To reheat, pop them in the microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. This way, the creamy goodness stays intact, and you’ll be ready to enjoy your delicious breakfast!

What vegetables can I add to my Baked Feta Eggs?

Feel free to customize your dish by adding spinach, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or mushrooms! If you're using watery vegetables like tomatoes, consider sautéing them first to reduce excess moisture, ensuring your eggs don't become too runny.

Is this recipe suitable for people with dietary restrictions?

If you're serving this dish to someone with dietary considerations, it’s always best to check for allergies to feta or eggs. For a lactose-free version, consider using a lactose-free cheese. And for a vegetarian option, this recipe is perfect as it contains no meat!
