Ingredients
  

For the Baked Feta Eggs
  • 1 block (8-ounce) feta cheese
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the baking dish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • 1 pita pocket
  • fresh basil and/or mint for serving

Equipment

  • Ceramic Baking Dish Set

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x11 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the middle of the prepared baking dish. Crack the 12 eggs around the feta. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and eggs. Season the eggs with salt and season both the eggs and feta with black pepper.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the feta cheese melts and the egg whites around the edges are cooked.
  4. Use a fork to gently scramble the eggs and feta together. Some whites may still appear wet; they will continue to cook from the residual heat.
  5. Serve the baked feta eggs on their own or scoop into pita pockets. Garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves if desired.
