Let me be honest with you—I didn’t plan this recipe. One morning I opened my fridge, saw some eggs, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and a block of feta cheese just sitting there.
I thought, “Why not throw them together?” That’s how this recipe was born. And let me tell you—it turned out so good, I knew I had to share it with you.
If you love simple food that feels a little fancy but takes almost no effort, you’re going to love this baked eggs dish. Let’s break it down together.
Why I Love This Recipe
What I love about this recipe is how little work it takes. You don’t need to chop a dozen ingredients or stand over the stove for long. You mix, bake, and enjoy.
The eggs come out soft and creamy, the tomatoes burst with sweetness, and the feta adds that salty kick.
It feels like something you’d order in a café, but you make it right at home with almost no mess.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s the beauty of it—you only need a few simple things:
- Eggs (fresh ones are best)
- Cherry tomatoes (or any small tomatoes you have)
- Feta cheese (crumbled or in blocks)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil, if you’ve got them)
That’s it. Nothing fancy. All easy to find.
How to Make Baked Eggs with Tomatoes and Feta
Let me walk you through it step by step:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drizzle a little olive oil into a small baking dish or oven-safe pan.
- Add your tomatoes—just toss them in, whole or halved. A little salt and pepper here helps.
- Bake the tomatoes for 10 minutes until they start to soften and get juicy.
- Crack in the eggs right on top of the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the feta cheese all over. Don’t be shy with it.
- Back into the oven for 8–12 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs (soft or firm).
- Finish with fresh herbs and maybe an extra drizzle of olive oil.
That’s it—done!
Why You Will Like It Too
Here’s why I think this recipe will become one of your favorites:
- Fast: You can make it in under 20 minutes.
- Healthy: Packed with protein from eggs, vitamins from tomatoes, and good fats from olive oil.

It’s one of those recipes that makes you feel like you cooked something special, but without the stress.
Little Tips to Make It Even Better
- Use a small baking dish so the eggs sit close together.
- Don’t overbake—soft eggs taste best with the juicy tomatoes.
- Serve with warm bread, toast, or even pita for dipping.
Trust me, the mix of runny yolk, salty feta, and sweet tomato juice on bread is something you’ll want again and again.
