• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup chopped baby spinach
• 4 large eggs
• Optional for topping – chopped fresh basil or fresh chives

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. If using ramekins or individual serving dishes: Divide the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese between 4 oven-safe dishes. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each dish.
   If using one large dish: Combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in the dish, placing the feta cheese in the center. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and veggies.
3. In a small bowl, mix the dried oregano, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
4. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the feta and veggies, dividing it evenly if using individual servings.
5. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or put the large dish in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. Once baked, remove the dishes from the oven and stir to mix the feta with the veggies. Add the spinach and stir until combined.
7. Create a well in the middle of each ramekin or four wells if using one baking dish. Crack the eggs into the wells.
8. Return the dishes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
9. Top with optional fresh herbs or sliced chives.
10. Serve with crusty baguette, toast, or pita for dipping.
