Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables by dividing the chopped cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic among the ramekins. Drizzle olive oil over the veggies and toss to coat.
  3. Add the block of feta cheese in the center of the veggies. Sprinkle with oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the feta melts and the vegetables soften.
  5. Stir the baked veggies and add baby spinach, tossing until wilted.
  6. Create wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring the whites are set and yolks are slightly runny.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve warm.
