How to Make Baked Feta Eggs with Tomatoes and Spinach
Let’s get cooking! This recipe is as simple as it is satisfying. You’ll love how the kitchen fills with amazing aromas as everything bakes to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While your oven is heating up, gather your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
In a baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Give them a generous shower of salt and pepper, a couple pinches will do! They should look glistening and ready for roasting.
Place a block of feta cheese right in the center of the tomatoes. Trust me, this is where the magic happens!
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are roasted and the feta is soft and slightly browned. You’ll know it’s done when you can see the feta bubbling and it’s slightly browned on the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and crack the eggs around the feta and tomatoes. Be sure to crack those eggs carefully so the yolks stay intact.
Add fresh spinach on top. It’ll look like a mountain of greens, but don’t worry, it will cook down beautifully.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the eggs are set to your liking. I usually prefer mine slightly runny, but if you like your yolks fully cooked, just let them bake a little longer!
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm. You might want to have some crusty bread on the side to soak up all that deliciousness!

If you end up with leftovers (which can be hard to believe, trust me!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating gently in the oven or microwave just until warmed through, no one likes overcooked eggs!
Freezer Friendly
While it’s not the best idea to freeze this dish due to the texture of the eggs, you can certainly freeze the roasted tomatoes and feta if needed. Just make sure to let them cool before freezing, and then you can use them in other dishes later on!
