Description

A cozy, Mediterranean-inspired breakfast made with roasted vegetables, creamy feta, and a golden baked egg. This easy one-pan recipe is bursting with flavor and ready in just 35 minutes—perfect for busy mornings or a weekend brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 red bell pepper, sliced

½ red onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

1 cup baby spinach

2–3 oz feta cheese, cut into chunks

1 large egg

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp balsamic vinegar (traditional or flavored)

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp dried thyme

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or chives, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a small baking dish, toss tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, until veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

  • Stir in baby spinach until wilted. Nestle feta chunks into the veggies.

  • Make a small well and crack in the egg. Return to the oven for 8–12 minutes, depending on yolk preference.

  • Remove from oven, cool slightly, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with crusty bread or greens.

Notes

For a runny yolk, check the egg around the 8-minute mark.

This recipe scales easily—use a larger dish and add more eggs to serve a crowd.

Swap feta for goat cheese, ricotta, or a dairy-free alternative.
