02 - In a medium baking dish, mix cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, season with oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes if using, salt, and pepper. Toss evenly.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one dish so you can actually hang out with your people instead of standing at the stove
  • The combination of warm feta and runny yolks creates this incredible creamy sauce that you will want to scoop up with every bite
02 -
  • The feta will continue to firm up as it sits so err on the side of pulling it out when it still looks slightly underdone
  • Making the wells deep enough is crucial because if the eggs spread too much they will overcook before the whites set properly
03 -
  • Buy feta sold in blocks brined in liquid rather than pre crumbled which is often dry and grainy
  • If your cherry tomatoes are especially large cut them into quarters so they release their moisture faster
