Clean Eating Recipes Baked Feta Eggs

When I first stumbled into the idea of baked feta eggs, I thought it was one of those trends that would come and go like the time I tried to make zucchini noodles and ended up with a tangled mess. But here’s the thing: this dish isn’t a trend, it’s a keeper. The creaminess of feta, the richness of eggs, and the tang from tomatoes come together in a way that feels hearty without weighing you down. I’ll be honest, the first time I baked feta I worried it would just melt into a salty puddle. Spoiler alert—it didn’t. It turned into this warm, soft bite that paired so well with eggs it made me wonder why I hadn’t tried it sooner. It’s one of those clean eating recipes that somehow manages to taste indulgent, which makes me smile every time I pull it out of the oven. This recipe checks so many boxes: it works for a quick breakfast, it’s cozy enough for dinner, and it makes you feel like you actually know what you’re doing in the kitchen even if, like me, you occasionally forget to set the timer. If you’ve ever searched for a feta recipe, healthy egg recipes, or even those crazy feta cava recipes people talk about, this dish brings all that comfort to your own table. It’s proof that recipes with feta don’t need to be complicated—sometimes simple really is best.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the block of feta in a small oven-safe dish.

  5. Remove the dish and gently crack eggs on top of the feta and tomatoes.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks are still a little runny.
