Ingredients
  

200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

4 large eggs

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the baking dish: In a medium-sized baking dish, spread the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion evenly across the bottom.

      Add the feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables, distributing it evenly.

        Season: Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper over the feta and vegetables. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil on top to enhance the flavors.

          Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and the feta is golden and slightly caramelized.

            Add the eggs: Remove the dish from the oven. Carefully create four small indentations in the feta and vegetables and crack an egg into each indentation.

              Final bake: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

                Garnish and serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
