Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a small baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the feta cheese in the center of the dish and surround it with the tomato mixture.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the feta begins to melt.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and create two small spaces in the mixture.
  6. Crack the eggs into the spaces.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 5–8 minutes, depending on desired yolk doneness.
