Baked Feta Eggs with Spinach + Dill

A savoury, protein-rich breakfast that’s creamy, spicy, and full of Mediterranean flavour.

Why I Love This Recipe

This dish takes simple ingredients — eggs, feta, spinach, and harissa — and turns them into something truly special. The feta softens into a creamy base while the eggs bake to perfection, and the harissa adds just the right amount of smoky heat.

It’s quick, high in protein, and incredibly satisfying. Perfect for a slow weekend brunch or a weekday meal prep breakfast that feels indulgent but keeps you energized and balanced.

The Recipe

Ingredients

• 100–120 g feta cheese (block, not crumbled)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 large handful baby spinach

• 1–2 spring onions, sliced

• 2 tbsp fresh dill

• 6-10 cherry tomatoes (optional)

• 1 tsp olive oil

• pinch of red pepper falkes

• Sea salt + black pepper to taste

• Sourdough or gluten-free bread, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a small oven-safe dish or skillet.

2. Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in a small pan. Add spinach and spring onions, and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Add dill, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Assemble: Spread the spinach mixture evenly in your baking dish. Nestle the block of feta in the centre, then crack the eggs around it. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top.

4. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft (adjust to your preference).

5. Finish: Remove from the oven and lightly mash the feta into the eggs so the flavours blend together. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.

6. Serve: Spoon over toasted sourdough or gluten-free bread and enjoy warm.

Storage

• Best enjoyed fresh

• Keeps 1–2 days in the fridge; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the eggs
