Let’s be honest—mornings are rough. If you’re like me, you’re barely functioning until that first sip of coffee, and the last thing you want is to stand over a stove, flipping eggs while half-asleep. That’s where Feta Baked Eggs come in.

Eggs With Feta Cheese Breakfast

This recipe is the definition of low effort, high reward. You throw everything in a dish, pop it in the oven, and boom—breakfast practically makes itself. The result? Silky, creamy eggs infused with salty, tangy feta that melts into perfection. It’s like your favorite scrambled eggs, but fancier, cheesier, and with absolutely zero stirring required.

This Greek-inspired breakfast bake is:
✔️ Packed with protein (hello, satisfying meal!)
✔️ A one-pan wonder (minimal dishes = happiness)
✔️ Perfect for toast-dipping, pita-stuffing, or eating straight from the dish like a rebel

What Exactly Are Feta Baked Eggs?

Picture this: You take a block of feta, nestle it in a dish, and crack some eggs around it. Then, you sit back and let the oven do its thing. No whisking, no flipping, no fuss. After about 20 minutes, you pull out a dish of creamy, dreamy, feta-infused eggs that are so good, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with stovetop cooking.

This dish is the ultimate savory Mediterranean breakfast—a little salty, a little tangy, and completely addictive. Plus, it’s endlessly customizable. Want to throw in some tomatoes, spinach, or roasted peppers? Go for it. Feel like adding some chili flakes for a spicy kick? Highly recommend.

For a full Mediterranean-inspired spread, serve it alongside these Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables—because you deserve a breakfast that feels like a vacation.

What You’ll Need

This recipe is so simple, it barely qualifies as cooking.

  • 1 block of feta cheese (go for the real stuff, not the pre-crumbled kind)
  • 4 large eggs (because eggs make everything better)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (the good kind, if you have it)
  • Salt & Pepper (but go easy—the feta is salty enough)
  • Optional Add-ins: Cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or fresh herbs

How to Make Feta Baked Eggs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial—eggs need a hot oven to bake up perfectly.

Step 2: Arrange the Ingredients

Place the block of feta in the center of an 8×8-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Crack the eggs around it, trying to space them out so they don’t overlap too much.

Step 3: Bake Until Just Set

Bake for 20-22 minutes. If you like runny yolks, take it out sooner. If you prefer firmer eggs, let it go a little longer. Remember, eggs keep cooking after they come out of the oven, so don’t overdo it.

Step 4: Stir & Serve

Once out of the oven, stir the feta into the eggs to create the creamiest, dreamiest texture. Spoon it over toast, stuff it into a pita, or eat it straight from the dish. No judgment.

3. Completely Customizable

You can switch things up every time you make it:

  • Add fresh herbs like oregano or thyme for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Throw in cherry tomatoes for a juicy burst of flavor.
  • Top with chili flakes or hot honey for a sweet-spicy kick.

Serving Ideas

This dish is a dream on its own, but here are a few ways to take it to the next level:

✔️ Scoop it onto sourdough toast (because carbs + cheese = happiness)
✔️ Wrap it in a warm pita for a Mediterranean-style breakfast sandwich
✔️ Serve it with avocado & smoked salmon for extra indulgence
✔️ Pair it with crispy bacon or sausage for a full-on brunch spread

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

If, by some miracle, you don’t devour the whole thing in one sitting, here’s how to save it:

  • Store: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm it in a 300°F oven for a few minutes to maintain that silky texture. Avoid the microwave—it can make the eggs rubbery.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely. Just use a bigger dish and bake a few minutes longer.

How do I know when the eggs are fully cooked?
The whites should be set, but the yolks should still jiggle slightly. If you like firmer eggs, bake a little longer.

Can I use crumbled feta instead of a block?
You can, but the texture won’t be as creamy. The block melts better.

Can I add veggies?
Yes! Spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers all work beautifully.
