This delightful dish, with its creamy feta and perfectly baked eggs, felt like a warm, comforting embrace. Fast forward to today, and I’m excited to share my own version of this café favorite that you can whip up in just 30 minutes!

Notes

  • Fresh Ingredients: Start with quality ingredients, especially your feta cheese. I love using a block of feta for its creamy texture and flavor.
  • Seasoning: Don’t skimp on seasoning! Salt and pepper are crucial for enhancing the flavors of the dish.
  • Bake Time Adjustment: Keep an eye on the timer! Check them around the 18-minute mark for softer yolks.
  • Add Veggies: Adding spinach, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers boosts the nutritional value and adds vibrant color.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serving the baked feta eggs on crisp toast is classic, but warm pitas or flaky croissants are delicious alternatives.
  • Leftover Love: Store leftovers in the fridge; they can be reheated easily.
