We know feta makes everything betta, right? So when I saw my good friend Yumna @feelgoodfoodie make this Baked Feta Eggs dish, I knew I had to try it too. This is a really cool way to enjoy eggs 🥚 for breakfast or lunch, plus it’s packed with protein 💪! Because this dish is made and baked in one baking dish, it’s easy to put together and clean up, saving you lots of time in the kitchen. I know this is super important for busy families this season.
Why You’ll Love Baked Feta Eggs
Who needs to step out for breakfast every day when you can make these ☕ cafe-worthy Baked Feta Eggs at home in less than 30 minutes? This dish could not be any easier to put together, and the result is a flavor bomb of creamy goodness. All it takes is cracking the eggs into the baking dish and setting the oven timer! In just 20 minutes, you have the creamiest, silkiest egg scramble — a real upgrade from the skillet version. You can adjust the bake time to suit your preference, just remember the 🥚 eggs will continue to cook with the residual heat after mixing with the feta. These perfectly fluffy eggs are delicious on toast, in a breakfast burrito, or served egg salad-style in a 🌯 wrap, pita or sandwich.
How to Prepare
🌡️ Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
🫒 Add the block of feta to the middle of an 8 by 8 inch baking dish. Drizzle the dish and feta with olive oil.
🥚 Crack the eggs into the baking dish (around the block of feta), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
⏲️ Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs have set. I like a softer egg, so feel free to reduce the bake time according to how you like your eggs.
🥄 Take the baking dish out of the oven and stir the warm feta together with the eggs.
🥪 Serve on toast, wraps, sandwiches, or alongside bacon/sausage for breakfast!
Nonna’s Tip 🥚
The cooking time for the eggs is totally up to you. Remember, they will continue to cook through residual heat, so the 18-20-minute mark is my sweet spot.

The eggs are ready when the whites are fully cooked and the yolks are at your desired consistency. For a softer yolk, bake closer to 18-20 minutes. If you prefer fully set yolks, bake for a bit longer, around 22 minutes.

Fun, easy and unique way to make a large batch of eggs. Mine were overcooked, but likely my oven. Convection set to 375F and went 20 minutes. Next time I will drop temp slightly and check eggs after 18′. Looking forward to serving this easy, versatile dish for Thanksgiving morning to my houseguests from out of town. Thank you!
So glad you liked it, RG! Great idea—-it’s such a great dish for serving a crowd.
Perfect
Thanks Julie 😊
