Ingredients
4 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drizzle olive oil in an oven-safe dish and spread the crumbled feta cheese evenly across the bottom.
- Scatter cherry tomatoes over the feta, then sprinkle with dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
Notes
For a creamier texture, bake a few minutes longer, but be cautious not to overcook the yolks if you prefer them runny.
Feel free to customize with other herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional flavor.
