Ingredients
  

For the Baked Feta Eggs
  • 1 block feta cheese 8-ounce
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the baking dish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • 1 pita pocket
  • fresh basil and/or mint for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease an 8x11 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the middle of the prepared baking dish. Crack 12 eggs around the feta. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and eggs. Season the eggs with salt and season both the eggs and feta with black pepper.
