# What You Need:
→ Cheese & Dairy
01 - 4.2 oz feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled
02 - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
→ Vegetables
03 - 1 medium tomato, diced

13 - Salt, to taste
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 - Drizzle olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish.
03 - Sauté onions and bell pepper over medium heat (in the same skillet if ovenproof) for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
04 - Add tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, letting tomatoes release some juice.
05 - Remove from heat. Stir in feta (and optional Greek yogurt); spread evenly.
06 - Using a spoon, make 4 small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each.
07 - Sprinkle lightly with salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and a drizzle of olive oil.

09 - Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The feta creates these incredible salty creamy pockets that melt into the egg whites as they bake
- Everything cooks in one pan which means breakfast is ready in under thirty minutes with almost zero cleanup
02 -
- Cast iron skillets can continue cooking food after they leave the oven so if you prefer very runny yolks pull it out a couple minutes early
- Making deep wells really matters or the eggs will spread too thin and overcook before the whites set properly
03 -
- Take the eggs out of the refrigerator about fifteen minutes before you start cooking for more even baking
- Watch the pan through the oven door during the last few minutes because egg whites go from perfect to rubbery quickly
