Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ramekins and baking sheet.
  2. Divide the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, and minced garlic among four ramekins. Crumble the feta cheese over the veggies and drizzle olive oil on top.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the dried oregano, sea salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this evenly over the vegetables and feta in each ramekin.
  4. Place the prepared ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the feta is meltingly creamy.
  5. Remove the ramekins from the oven. Stir the melted feta and vegetables together until combined, then fold in the fresh baby spinach.
  6. Create a well in the center of each mixture and gently crack a large egg into each ramekin.
  7. Return the ramekins to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
  8. Let the ramekins cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like chives or basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure your ramekins hold at least 10 ounces to prevent overflow during baking. Use olive oil generously for enhanced flavor. Bake eggs until whites are set, leaving yolks slightly runny. Extra veggies like mushrooms or zucchini can be added. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
