- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed & drained)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Optional Toppings:

Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. Build the Base:
In the baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, spinach, red onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently.
3. Add Feta & Bake:
Sprinkle feta cheese evenly over the vegetables. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and release juices.
4. Add Eggs:
Remove from oven and create small wells in the mixture. Crack eggs into each well.
5. Bake Again:
Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
6. Garnish & Serve:
Top with fresh herbs, chili flakes, or olives. Serve warm with bread or enjoy on its own.
