Baked Feta Eggs

We know feta makes everything betta, right? So when we saw our good friend Yumna @feelgoodfoodie make this Baked Feta Eggs dish, we knew we had to try it too. This is a cool way to enjoy eggs for breakfast or lunch, plus it’s packed with protein! Because this dish is made and baked in one baking dish it’s straightforward to put together and clean up, saving you lots of time in the kitchen. We know this is important for busy families this season.

What stands out

Who needs to step out for breakfast every day when you can make these cafe-worthy Baked Feta Eggs at home in less than 30 minutes? This dish could not be any easier to put together, and the result is a flavor bomb of creamy goodness. All it takes is cracking the eggs into the baking dish and setting the oven timer! In just 20 minutes, you have the creamiest silkiest egg scramble — a real upgrade from the skillet version. You can adjust the bake time to suit your preference, just remember the eggs will continue to cook with the residual heat after mixing with the feta. These perfectly fluffy eggs are on toast, in a breakfast burrito, or served egg salad-style in a wrap, pita or sandwich.

How to Prepare

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

Add the block of feta to the middle of an 8 by 8 inch baking dish. Drizzle the dish and feta with olive oil.

Crack the eggs into the baking dish (around the block of feta), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs have set. We like a softer egg, so feel free to reduce the bake time according to how you like your eggs.

Take the baking dish out of the oven and stir the warm feta together with the eggs.

Serve on toast, wraps, sandwiches, or alongside bacon/sausage for breakfast!

Kitchen tip

The cooking time for the eggs is totally up to you. Remember, they will continue to cook through residual heat so the 18-20-minute mark is our sweet spot.
