Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

2. Prepare the feta and tomatoes: In a small baking dish, place the block of feta cheese in the center. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the feta. Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese and tomatoes.

3. Add seasoning: Sprinkle minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over everything.

4. Bake for 15 minutes: Place the dish in the oven and bake until the cheese softens and the tomatoes begin to blister.

5. Add the eggs: Remove the dish from the oven carefully. Crack the eggs around the feta and tomatoes, aiming to space them evenly.

6. Return to oven: Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust baking time if you prefer your yolks firmer.

7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh basil or parsley on top before serving.
