Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams feta cheese preferably blocks, crumbled or whole
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes whole or halved
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for greasing
  • 4 large eggs fresh
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Oval baking dish or small casserole
  • Frying pan or skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil. Scatter the cherry tomatoes in the dish, then crumble the feta cheese over the tomatoes for a layered look.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese and tomatoes, then sprinkle the minced garlic evenly across the top for added aroma and flavor.
  3. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the feta is golden around the edges and the tomatoes start to blister.
  4. Remove the dish from the oven and make four small wells in the mixture using a spoon. Carefully crack an egg into each well, trying not to break the yolks.
  5. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and whites are opaque.
  6. Remove from oven, season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve hot directly from the baking dish with crusty bread or toast if desired.
