Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce feta cheese block
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • 1 pita pocket for serving
  • fresh basil and/or mint leaves for serving

Equipment

  • 8x11 baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8×11 baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Place the feta block in the middle of the prepared baking dish. Crack 12 eggs around it, then drizzle olive oil over the feta and eggs. Season the eggs with salt and season both the eggs and feta with black pepper.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until the feta cheese melts and the egg whites around the edges cook.
  4. Use a fork to scramble the eggs and feta together. Do not worry if some of the whites still look wet as they will continue cooking from the heat of the baking dish and surrounding eggs.
  5. Eat the eggs alone or scoop them into pita pockets and garnish with mint or basil leaves.
