Feta, Tomatoes and Egg - an Easy Brunch Dish
This ridiculously easy brunch dish is a delicious way to start the morning. Serve it with your favorite toast and plenty of hot coffee! I’ve scaled the recipe for 1 serving but just increase the quantities of feta and tomatoes to serve as many people as you like!
Note if you’re increasing the recipe you can cook everything in one dish or in individual dishes, the key is to use a dish that only just fits all of your ingredients. If you chose to cook it in one large baking dish, you probably won’t need the full olive oil amount, just use enough to coat the tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 6-7 cherry tomatoes rinsed
- 30 g feta
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 egg
- Toast
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Add the tomatoes and 1/2 tsp of olive oil to a small baking dish or ramekin. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper and stir to combine. Wedge the feta into the center of the baking dish, sprinkle on a bit more salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled, and the feta is just starting to brown. You can put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes if you want the feta to brown more at the end!
- While the tomatoes are cooking, set a pan of water to boil. Once boiling, add your egg and then boil for 6 minutes (start your timer once the water is boiling again).
- While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with cold water and some ice. Once cooked place the egg in the ice bath and let it cool before peeling and slicing it in half.
- Serve the cooked tomatoes and feta alongside your soft-boiled egg and slices of toast! Enjoy!
