• Use ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
• Tear the spinach if the leaves are large so it cooks evenly.

• If you like runny yolks, bake less; for firm yolks, bake longer.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

variation (if any)

• Add cooked sausage or bacon for more protein.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: You can assemble it and keep it in the fridge for a few hours, but bake just before serving for best eggs.

Q: Can I use regular cheese instead of feta?
A: Yes. Use a crumbly or soft cheese that melts slightly, like goat cheese or ricotta, but adjust salt since feta is salty.

Q: How do I know when the eggs are done?
A: The whites should be set and opaque. If you want runny yolks, stop when the whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes. Use a larger baking dish and give it a few extra minutes in the oven if needed.

Q: Is this recipe vegetarian?
A: Yes, it is vegetarian if you do not add meat.
