Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Feta Eggs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes. Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until soft and slightly translucent.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the onions. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese into the mixture and stir gently to combine for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, along with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
  7. Create small wells in the mixture, making space for the eggs.
  8. Crack an egg into each well you've made, being careful not to break the yolks.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye on the eggs.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
