Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
  • Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Use a medium-sized baking dish or an oven-safe skillet, preferably cast-iron.
  3. Place the halved cherry tomatoes in the baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the feta begins to melt and brown.

  11. Enjoy straight from the oven with crusty bread for dipping.
  12. Gather loved ones and savor this delicious dish!
