Print Recipe

A quick, healthy, and flavorful breakfast recipe featuring eggs baked in a spiced tomato sauce with tangy feta cheese, all cooked on a single sheet pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add diced red bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes until softened but still vibrant.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Transfer the sauce evenly onto a rimmed 9×13 inch sheet pan, spreading it out to cover the base.
  6. Create little wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon, then carefully crack 6 large eggs into the wells, keeping yolks whole.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta generously over the eggs and sauce, and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
  8. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on desired yolk consistency. Watch closely after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest if using. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking and to reduce yolk cracking. If sauce dries out during baking, add a splash of water or broth. Cover loosely with foil if feta browns too quickly. For dairy-free, substitute feta with seasoned crumbled tofu. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently in oven to avoid rubbery eggs.
