Ingredient Notes

1 cup of cherry tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can substitute with grape tomatoes if needed.
2 tablespoons of feta cheese: Crumbled feta adds a creamy texture; try goat cheese for a different twist.
1 pound of eggs: Use large eggs for uniform cooking; you can also use egg substitutes if you’re watching cholesterol.
1/2 cup of fresh spinach: Swap with kale or arugula if preferred; fresh greens enhance the dish’s color and nutrients.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Halve the cherry tomatoes and spread them out on the baking sheet, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Place the tomatoes under the broiler for 5 minutes until they start to blister.
  4. Step 4: Gently crack the eggs over the roasted tomatoes, sprinkle feta cheese and spinach on top, and return to the broiler for an additional 5-7 minutes until the eggs are set.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with crusty bread.

Things I’ve Learned

I’ve learned that broiling can be tricky; keep an eye on the eggs as they can overcook quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to retain texture. For meal prep, broil the tomatoes ahead of time and add the eggs just before serving.
