Ingredients
  

For the base:
  • About 2 1/4 cups halved or quartered tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • Half a red onion thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • About 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
For the eggs:
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
For garnish:
  • Fresh basil chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Chop the bell pepper, slice the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the tomatoes. In a small bowl, mix the oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Spread the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic into oven-safe baking dishes. Break the feta into chunks and scatter it over the vegetables. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mix.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the feta gets creamy and slightly golden.
  5. Take the dishes out and stir everything together, breaking the feta into the veggies. Add the spinach and stir until it wilts from the heat. Sprinkle in the lemon zest.
  6. Use a spoon to make small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still a little jiggly.
  8. Let it rest for a couple of minutes, then finish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

This is the kind of food that makes you slow down without trying. Warm, creamy, messy in the best way, and full of color and flavor.
If your yolk breaks and runs into the feta and tomatoes, congratulations. You did it right.
